TIMPANI

TIMPANI is a distributed real-time scheduling system with time-triggered execution capabilities for Software Defined Vehicles (SDV).

Version	2026.08.0 (CalVer)
Changelog	CHANGELOG.md
License	MIT

This repository contains both original C implementations and modern Rust ports with enhanced type safety and memory safety.

Architecture

• TIMPANI-N (Node Executor): Executes time-triggered tasks on individual nodes
• TIMPANI-O (Node Scheduler): Orchestrates and schedules tasks across distributed nodes
• Sample Applications: Real-time test applications for system validation

Getting Started

Clone the Repository

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/eclipse-timpani/timpani26
cd TIMPANI

Note: Use --recurse-submodules to automatically clone the required submodules (libbpf, etc.).

All binaries embed version, Git commit hash, and build timestamp at compile time (-V / --version). See Version Management for the versioning policy and release process.

Refer to the individual component READMEs below for build and setup instructions.
