• Analyze the code to identify the root cause of the memory leak and fix it.

• Ensure that all allocated memory is properly deallocated and avoid unnecessary memory allocations.

• Use smart pointers and garbage collection techniques to manage memory automatic...read more

Q2. Write a program for Circular buffer implementation with producer and consumer scenario? Detect overflow and stop when detecting overflow and stop producer while consumer completes reading?
Ans. 
Circular buffer program with producer and consumer scenario, detecting overflow and stopping producer.
• Implement a circular buffer with a fixed size and two pointers for producer and consumer

• Use semaphores to synchronize access to the buffer

• When the buffer is full, stop the producer until the consumer reads from the buffer

• When the buffer is empty, stop the consumer until the producer writes to the buffer

• Use mutex locks ...read more

Q4. Explain secure boot flow in Intel and NXP?
Ans. 
Secure boot flow in Intel and NXP
• Intel uses a firmware-based approach to secure boot, where the firmware verifies the digital signature of the bootloader and OS kernel before loading them

• NXP uses a hardware-based approach to secure boot, where the boot ROM verifies the digital signature of the bootloader and OS kernel before loading them

• Both Intel and NXP use Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to store and verify the digita...read more
