Question Q1 Describe the Earliest Deadline First and Rate Monotonic Scheduling, making also a comparison to put in evidence limits and range of applicability. 1/10 Question Q2 Consider the following fragment of an hypothetical datasheet which describes some registers of a GPIO interrupt peripheral: PINIRQ is a peripheral designed to generate interrupts when certain GPIO pins change state. Bit access modes:  u = undefined, writing has no effect, reading returns zero  rw = software reading and writing is allowed  r-c1 = can be read by software, writing 0 has no effect, writing 1 clears the bit PINIRQ_CR: Address: 0xff001000, Initial value upon reset: 0x00 This is an 8 bit register used to configure the peripheral. 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 CLR IRQ EN u u u rw u rw u rw  EN: Set this bit to 1 to enable the peripheral  IRQ: If this bit is 1, an interrupt is generated when any bit in PINIRQ_SR is set  CLR: Setting this bit to 1 resets all…
