Check out www.freertos.org as a great place to begin learning about
RTOSs. Source code is all available and it is sensibly explained too.

There are a great many RTOSs available to suit a wide variety of
applications. Some have free source code and some have source code for
people with deep pockets. Don't let anyone from microsoft try to
persaude you that any of their OSs are real-time but they are one of the
few in the marketplace that won't give you source at any price.
