Hands-On RTOS with Microcontrollers

Questions 

As we conclude, here is a list of questions for you to test your knowledge regarding this chapter's material. You will find the answers in the Assessments section of the Appendix:

1. What is a super loop?
   • An infinite while loop
   • A loop that oversees all function calls in an embedded system
   • Both of the preceding options
2. RTOS tasks should always be preferred over super loops.
   • True
   • False
3. Name a drawback to complex super loops.
4. How can the responsiveness of a super loop-based application be improved?
5. List two ways in which super loops differ from RTOS tasks.

6. What features do RTOS tasks possess to help ensure that the most time-critical task gets CPU time before less time-critical tasks?
   • Time slicing
   • Prioritization
   • Round-robin ...
