Interview Questionnaire 

3 Questions

  • Q1. Define software for embedded?
  • Ans. 

    Software designed to run on embedded systems with limited resources and specific functions.

    • Embedded software is tailored to the specific hardware it runs on.

    • It is often written in low-level languages like C or assembly.

    • It must be efficient and optimized for limited resources like memory and processing power.

    • Examples include firmware for a smart thermostat or a car's engine control unit.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. For an embedded device what do you prefer? with OS or without OS?
  • Ans. 

    It depends on the requirements and constraints of the project.

    • If the project has limited resources, a bare-metal approach without an OS may be more appropriate.

    • If the project requires complex functionality and multitasking, an OS may be necessary.

    • An OS can provide better security and easier maintenance.

    • Examples of OS for embedded devices are FreeRTOS, uC/OS, and Linux.

    • Consider the cost and time-to-market implications o

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. Explain 8051 registers assembly
  • Ans. 

    8051 registers are used for I/O operations and control of the microcontroller.

    • 8051 has 4 register banks, each with 8 registers

    • Registers are used for arithmetic, logical, and bit manipulation operations

    • Special function registers (SFRs) control the microcontroller's peripherals

    • Examples of SFRs include P0 for I/O operations and TMOD for timer control
