Question 1

What is the most common difference between a single board computer (SBC) and a controller board?



Answer : A

SBCs (Single Board Computers):Designed as standalone, small-form-factor computers. They often include:

Display Interfaces:HDMI, DisplayPort, etc.

Input Connections:USB for keyboards, mice, etc.

General Purpose Functionality:Can run a full operating system for wider applications.

Controller Boards:Focus on controlling specific hardware or systems.

Limited direct I/O:Limited connectors for displays/input devices.

Specialized tasks:Designed for embedded applications within larger systems.

Question 2

What is an important feature of the PHP scripting language?



Answer : D

PHP's Cross-Platform Nature:PHP originated for server-side web development, but also has a command-line interface (CLI) enabling its use for scripts and automation tasks.

Other Options:

Somelanguages are OS-specific (but less frequent with modern scripting languages) .

Many languages work in weborcommand line, notbothlike PHP.

PHP (Introduction):Overviews mentioning its dual role in server-side web applications and as a general-purpose scripting language.

PHP CLI:Documentation on the command-line interface for PHP.


Question 3

What software is typically stored in ROM and is used to initialize a device?



Answer : A

Firmware Definition:Firmware is a type of software embedded in hardware devices. It provides low-level instructions that control the basic operations and initialization of the device.

ROM Storage:Firmware is typically stored in Read-Only Memory (ROM) or other forms of non-volatile memory, meaning it persists even when the device is powered off.

Functions:

Booting:Initiates the hardware and loads the operating system.

Hardware Control:Provides an interface between the hardware and the operating system.

BIOS:The firmware on PCs is often referred to as BIOS (Basic Input/Output System).

Question 4

Which one of the following location tracking technologies is most energy efficient in typical implementations?



Answer : A

BLE Beacon Power Efficiency:Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons are designed for low power consumption.Their primary function is to periodically broadcast short data packets (advertising their presence).

Other Technologies:

Cellular:More power-hungry due to long-range communication and complex protocols.

GPS:Power intensive,especially when actively tracking location.

Wi-Fi:


Question 5

You are implementing a smart office wireless solution for a small business. The business owner indicates that It is acceptable to use consumer-targeted wireless devices. What is a common negative attribute of consumer-targeted smart home or smart office devices?



Answer : B

Consumer Smart Devices Limitation:Many consumer-oriented smart devices are designed for simplicity and cost-effectiveness, leading to reliance on the crowded 2.4 GHz band.

Consequences:

High Interference:Increased potential for interference from Wi-Fi and other 2.4 GHz devices.

Limited scalability:Performance and reliability may degrade in busy wireless environments.


Question 6

A Wi-Fi enabled weight scale is an example of what kind of health IoT device?



Answer : C

Health IoT Device Categories:

Wearable:Devices worn on the body (smartwatches, fitness trackers).

Non-wearable:Devices used without being worn (smart scales, connected medical equipment).

Implantable:Surgically inserted devices (pacemakers, glucose monitors).

Health IoT:Resources on healthcare + IoT will illustrate device types.


Question 7

You have been asked to consider smart building opportunities for your organization. Which one of these is a benefit of smart building technology?



Answer : B

Smart Building Core Benefit:Smart building technologies primarily aim to optimize a building's operational efficiency through automation and data-driven insights.

Efficiency Examples:

Energy Management:Automated lighting and HVAC control based on occupancy and environmental conditions.

Maintenance:Predictive maintenance through IoT sensors reduces downtime.

Space Utilization:Optimization of space allocation based on real-time usage patterns.
