The interview was super competitive, but here's the gist:
Networking Questions
- Tell me about the ARP protocol and how it works
- Go through the lifecyle of a packet from origination at client to end at server
- IP Address Classifications and DNS Addresses
Operating System Questions
- Lifecycle of a process
- Difference between forking and threading
- Questions on cache policies (Write through and write back)
- ARM processor types
Coding Question
Write a program to find if a number is a power of 2. The processor/microcontroller you are working with does not have the division operator, nor the math.pow() library
This problem is a bit of a bit hack, the solution is here
