Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a small embedded project involving the ARM Cortex-M0 that requires real-time debugging. Outline what debugging features you would use and explain their relevance.

💡 Hint: Think about what happens in a robotics application and how immediate feedback can affect performance.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given a sample code snippet with a known bug, develop a strategy for using breakpoints and Instrumented Trace to identify and resolve the issue.

💡 Hint: Visualize the flow of the program and how you can pause to check the state at critical moments.
