MORFEO is the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics Relay for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) that will provide multi-conjugate correction of the incoming wavefront by means of three deformable mirrors: one on the telescope and two in the instrument optical train. The wavefront sensing is based on six laser guide stars projected on a constellation of 45 arcseconds and three natural guide stars selected into the 2,7 arcminutes corrected FOV. The current design of the Real Time Computer (RTC) devoted to the deformable mirrors control is reported in the following. According to the ELT architecture, the RTC consists of a Hard Real-Time Core (HRTC) and a Soft Real-Time Cluster (SRTC). The former is in charge of acquiring data from the wavefront sensors and controlling the deformable mirrors and jitter mirrors. It adopts the HEART platform and will be provided by the Herzberg Astronomy and Astrophysics - NRC Canada - which is joining to the Consortium. The SRTC, based on the ESO-provided RTC Toolkit, provides the interface for the Instrument Control System Software. It performs all the supervisory and monitoring tasks, in addition to the auxiliary loops for optimization of correction. This paper will discuss the state of the updated design of the RTC after the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) towards the final design of the subsystem. It will provide an in-depth description of the distributed architecture adopted by the system, with a particular focus on the architecture of the SRTC. Detailed insights into the design considerations, challenges encountered, and solutions implemented in the SRTC architecture will be presented to provide a comprehensive understanding of the system’s current state and future direction. Part of the research activities described in this paper were carried out with contribution of the Next Generation EU funds within the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), Mission 4 - Education and Research, Component 2 - From Research to Business (M4C2), Investment Line 3.1 - Strengthening and creation of Research Infrastructures, Project IR0000034 – “STILES - Strengthening the Italian Leadership in ELT and SKA”.
