If I recall from the STM32F103RB datasheet, the core supports threading. The Maple IDE's Arduino lang seems very similar to cpp (with a hole which I will point out). The function "setup()" is implemented as part of the initialization for Maple; however, at least on Linux the function "setup()" is part of creating a new thread with cpp.
How would one go about creating multiple threads on the Maple through the Maple IDE? Did I miss something in the language library?

Where in the datasheet did you read about Multi-Threading support?
The setup() function comes from Wiring's paradigms, not from multi-threading. When your sketch is compiled, the following main function is attached to your project:
int main(void) {
setup();
while (1) {
loop();
}
return 0;
}As you can see, setup is called first, followed by loop endlessly.
The closest thing you can get to multi-threading is a real time operating system like ChibiOS.

there's no libmaple support for multithreading. for that, yup, you'll probably want to use a real-time operating system. for example, there's a guide on using ChibiOS on the Maple in the wiki:

if you like FreeRTOS, we've received a pull request to merge FreeRTOS support into libmaple which should get merged into master any day now. if you're impatient and know how to use git, you can get it yourself:

ok, support for FreeRTOS 7.0.1 is now part of libmaple:

thanks a lot to nis for the pull request, and x893 for the initial version!
