Dear fishes, After working in Autosar(CAN/FR/OS) configuration for 4 years, I wanted to switch domain to device drivers. So I bought a STM board. Joined some udemy courses. Learnt SPI/I2C/NVIC/exception handling and FREERTOS/OS. Now I want to apply to companies like Nvidia Texas Instruments Qualcomm NXP Without any prior experience I am a bit nervous as people say the interviews would be very difficult in these.

Please help with embedded and prog ques for these interviews.
TIA. Please reply.

It should be fine as long as you study the device drivers well and have good C CPP skills
I interviewed at NXP and had a good experience. Was asked many coding and pointer related questions. Few questions on BLE and then IWC and PWM related basic questions.
