Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design an embedded system that requires both low latency and high-thoroughput. Discuss trade-offs.

💡 Hint: Think about how real-time requirements might shape your design choices.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate how an increase in GPIO activity can lead to higher power consumption and lower data throughput.

💡 Hint: Relate it to bus congestion when many vehicles try to use the same road.
