Here are some of the main components of an RTOS:

• Scheduler: Preemptive scheduler that guarantees the highest priority thread it running.
• Communication Mechanism: Semaphores, Message Queues, Queues, etc.
• Critical Region Mechanisms: Mutexes, Gates, Locks, etc.
• Timing Services: Clocks, Timers, etc.
• Power Management: For low power devices, power management is generally part of the RTOS since it knows the state of the device.
• Memory Management: Variable-size heaps, fixed-size heaps, etc.
• Peripheral Drivers: UART, SPI, I2C, etc.
• Protocol stacks: BLE, WiFi, etc.
