Questions and Answers

What is the potential consequence of poorly designed embedded code?

Undefined state = BAD MCU interpreted negative values as positive values

How does writing code for an embedded system differ from writing code for a PC system?

Embedded system is resource constrained; Use hardware call stack; Limited call stack on a PIC; Headless (generally runs without a display unit); Use only LEDs / 7 segment displays to indicate status

What are some reasons for poorly designed embedded code?

Acceleration pedal pushed in too far; Stack overflow condition; Sign bit 'flipped'; Developers did not anticipate this; Two’s complement calculations continue

What can happen if an embedded system interprets negative values as positive values?
