RTOS C++ API provides the Mutex class which is used to make drivers **Thread Safe**.

### Atomics

Atomic operations are provided by mbed which can be used to make code **Interrupt Safe**. This is the preferred method of synchronization if code needs to be used both from threads and interrupts, since there is very low overhead and no latency decrease.
