Real-Time

Programmation et conception temps réel

Real time is not about speed. It is about proving that a response happens within a bounded delay, every time. That constraint changes how you design tasks, share data between them and handle interrupts, and it has to be settled before the architecture is fixed.

Our courses cover the kernels used in the field, FreeRTOS, Zephyr, Eclipse ThreadX and RT-Thread, along with multicore programming, AUTOSAR and OSEK/VDX for automotive, and the vendor ecosystems from NXP and Nordic. Lab work runs on real boards or on simulated targets.

The failures are always the same ones: priority inversion where a low-priority task holds a mutex a high-priority one needs, stacks sized by guesswork until one overflows into a neighbor, critical sections long enough to miss a deadline, and ISRs doing work that belongs in a task. The courses treat these as the subject, not as footnotes.
