Am I right in thinking that both ESP8266s and ESP32s are flashed with RTOS by default? And that you can develop using RTOS using the Arduino IDE? For some reason, I got the impression that the Arduino IDE doesn't support RTOS programming and you need to use something else.

Yes, RTOS is running on the esp32 in fact there is an example ESP32/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS.ino
If you've loaded the core for the esp32 you should be able to find it under the above or for me
I can get to it by exploring to a

I can't speak for ESP8266s or ESP32s, but RTOS libraries are available for Arduino micro controllers too. Just go to your Arduino IDE library manager and type in RTOS, and you'll find that there are a number of libraries available.

Yes, that is correct thinking. 😎 But you might like to peruse the youtube I link to which has an example of making programs run on the different dual cores of the ESP32 and I found it puts its RTOS into context.

Thanks. I haven't done any embedded programming for a long time (20+ years??) so I'm really quite excited about trying RTOS.

I managed to get RTOS working on my Arduino UNO using PlatformIO + vscode. Nice!

DigiKey has a good video series on Youtube about FreeRTOS. They are using Arduino IDE to work it.
Here's a link to the first of a bunch of them:
If your code won't compile, have another glass of bourbon. Eventual the problem will be solved.
