Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a small application that requires multiple interrupts, including a high-priority interrupt for emergency signals. Describe how you would implement the NVIC.

💡 Hint: Consider how critical tasks can be prioritized over others in your application.

Question 2

Given a scenario where a low-priority task is interrupted by a higher-priority task that itself gets interrupted by another high-priority task, explain how the NVIC manages this situation.

💡 Hint: Think about how the NVIC queues and manages incoming interrupts.
