    while (true) {

        notify((const char*)args, 1); Thread::wait(1000);

int main() {

I'm trying to get started with rtos and I didn't get very far trying to understand the mutex example. I understand the mutex concept, but I am having trouble with the thread creation and program output. It looks like all threads are outputting at once, but looking at the waits in test_thread I thought there would be a delay. I was hoping someone could take the time to explain the basics of what is going on both with the thread creation and program execution.
