Description
working already successfully with preemptive std::thread/pthread (+mutexes + thread prios) using the Arduino IDE for ESP32 it would be very wishful to have this feature also for SAMD/SAM boards (possibly compatible both to SAMD 21+51 + SAM3X8E).
Contributor guide
Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating how Arduino supports threading on ESP32, then investigate whether std::thread or pthread, mutexes, and thread priorities can be provided for SAMD21, SAMD51, and SAM3X8E boards. Done means a defined, compatible implementation for the requested board families.
