10 A :dfn:`system thread` is a thread that the kernel spawns automatically
15 **Main thread**
16     This thread performs kernel initialization, then calls the application's
19     By default, the main thread uses the highest configured preemptible thread
21     threads, the main thread uses the lowest configured cooperative thread
24     The main thread is an essential thread while it is performing kernel
26     this means a fatal system error is raised if the thread aborts. If
28     return, the main thread terminates normally and no error is raised.
30 **Idle thread**
31     This thread executes when there is no other work for the system to do.
32     If possible, the idle thread activates the board's power management support
33     to save power; otherwise, the idle thread simply performs a "do nothing"
34     loop. The idle thread remains in existence as long as the system is running
37     The idle thread always uses the lowest configured thread priority.
39     The idle thread is an essential thread, which means a fatal system error
40     is raised if the thread aborts.
44 enabling the system workqueue spawns a system thread
83 Use the main thread to perform thread-based processing in an application
84 that only requires a single thread, rather than defining an additional
85 application-specific thread.
