The OSKit has a set of scheduler built in. Look in the threads directory.
There is a README.SCHED file in there that describes how the different
schedulers (POSIX, EDF, Stride) fit together and are compiled in. The
pthreads interface is used in a number of oskit libraries (mutexes,
condition variables) to implement things like queues. You can look at any
POSIX manual for the pthread interface, as well as the realtime signal
interface.
