I was at an event last weekend where the "badge" was an Arduino Due
with LCD dispaly and extras.
https://wiki.emfcamp.org/wiki/TiLDA_MKe

The badge was programmed using FreeRTOS and despite being rather
clever and impressive it was also really very flaky. There was some
conjecture that sections of the code were possibly not thread-safe,
but discussion of thread safety on the Arduino forums mainly leads to
blank looks.

Are there any basic guidleines about thread safety on such a platform?
One thing that somewhat worried me was when the main developer talked
about "wrapping eveything in C++ for readability"  whereas AFAIK all
Linux realtime code is pure C?
