PHYTEC Embedded Embedded Software Engineer Interview Questions and Answers

Q1. What is difference between Normal OS and RTOS? What is difference between microcontroller and microprocessor? Write a C program to swap two numbers without using 3rd variable.
Ans. 
RTOS is a real-time operating system designed for time-sensitive applications. Microcontrollers are integrated circuits with built-in memory and peripherals.
• RTOS is designed to provide deterministic and predictable response times for critical tasks.

• Normal OS is designed for general-purpose computing and may not prioritize real-time tasks.

• Microcontrollers are typically used in embedded systems and have limited resources...read more

• Macros are defined using the #define directive, while constant variables are declared using the const keyword.

• Macros are replaced by their values during preprocessing, while constant variables are stored in memory.

• Macros can lead to code duplication, while constant variables provide ty...read more
