Question 1: How would you resolve timing issues between subsystems that are operating with different clock speeds?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Use an arbitrary clock rate that suits the majority of subsystems

Use clock synchronization techniques or asynchronous communication protocols

Force all subsystems to operate on a common clock speed

Ignore timing issues if subsystems are compatible

Question 2: When designing a system with custom hardware and embedded software, what is the key factor for maintaining synchronization between them?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Writing complex software algorithms that can compensate for hardware delays

Ignoring the software side and focusing on hardware first

Minimizing the hardware usage to reduce software complexity

Accurate timing and scheduling of tasks in software and hardware

Question 3: What is the primary reason for hardware abstraction layers (HAL) in embedded systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To reduce power consumption

To separate hardware-specific code from application code

To improve system stability

To speed up data transfer rates

Question 4: In hardware-software co-design, what is a primary challenge?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Ensuring compatibility between different hardware platforms

Balancing real-time performance with power consumption

Managing clock synchronization across hardware components

Ensuring accurate modeling of hardware behavior in software

Question 5: In a multitasking embedded system, which of the following is necessary to prevent software bugs during hardware interaction?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Implementation of a cooperative scheduling model

Proper synchronization mechanisms

Use of hardware watchdog timers

Continuous power cycling

Question 6: In an analog circuit, you notice a noisy output. What would be the first thing to check when troubleshooting this issue?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Ground loop interference

Wrong signal input frequency

Incorrect component values

Power supply noise
