SOC-11 – RTOS Development on Altera® SoC Platforms

Course Description

This course is built for Altera® SoC FPGA designers who want to develop deterministic, production-grade real-time systems using Zephyr RTOS on Altera SoC FPGA platforms. The course focuses on real-world Zephyr practices for HPS + FPGA systems: board/BSP bring-up, Zephyr device tree and driver model, interrupt and scheduling determinism, DMA and cache/coherency correctness, and robust integration of custom FPGA IP via HPS↔FPGA bridges.

Rather than teaching RTOS basics, the course concentrates on what typically blocks successful deployments: priority inversion, ISR overload, race conditions, timing jitter, non-coherent DMA corruption, device tree mismatches, and integration failures across HPS (software) and FPGA fabric (hardware). The end goal is a repeatable methodology to ship an RTOS-based SoC FPGA product with measurable real-time performance.

Course Duration: 2 Days
