Question

What purpose does the Bridge Library serve on the Arduino Yun?

(a) Connecting the Linux processor and the microcontroller onboard the Yun

(b) Disconnecting the Linux processor and the microcontroller onboard the Yun

(c) Making the Linux Processor the master device and the microcontroller, the slave device

(d) Making the Linux Processor the slave device and the microcontroller, the master device

This question was posed to me in a job interview.

This is a very interesting question from Other Libraries topic in division Arduino Programming of Arduino

Answer 1

Right option is (a) Connecting the Linux processor and the microcontroller onboard the Yun

Easiest explanation: The Arduino Yun has two processors onboard; the Atheros 9331 which is a processor that runs Linux and the Atmega32U4 which is a microcontroller. The job of the Bridge Library’s job is to connect these two devices and enable communication between them.
