In embedded software on NXP Semiconductors microcontrollers such as the MCUXpresso SDK targets, memory behavior directly affects reliability, latency, and fault diagnosis.
Explain the main differences between stack and heap memory in a microcontroller environment.
Your answer should cover:
The interviewer expects a systems-oriented explanation, not just desktop-programming definitions. Discuss memory layout, determinism, performance, and debugging considerations relevant to constrained MCU environments.
