eCos is a soft real time system, not a hard real time system with a
deadline schedular. The default scheduler is a multi level queue with
round robin within a queue. So the scheduler will run a runnable
thread from the highest priority queue. If there are multiple runnable
threads in that queue, it round robins between them on each tick.
