Good stuff. Most embedded controllers use a super loop to call routines. There isn’t usually an OS. A good OS would be helpful for consistent implementations.

  Initially I thought they were etching this on the chip....but I now think it is an addition Firmware chip on the MoBo....but I really don't know much of anything about enbedded stuff.

It’s a good protected RTOS, with excellent dev tools, but quite pricey. Just about every feature and protocol beyond the base OS costs an additional license and maintenance fee, not to mention the per-seat development tools cost. Perhaps for commercial use (as opposed to mil/defense contractor use) their pricing structure is different. All I know is we pay big bucks to Green Hills every year.
