What RTOS is used on STM32F429i eval board GUI Demo?

Hello, I have tried to turn on LEDs on the STM32F429i eval board, using buttons and interrupt.  

I also noticed on the touch screen, there is GUI that has some basic operations like opening the folder and playing a simple game.  What kind of RTOS does it use ?  Is it FreeRTOS ?

I have been looking for labs that can be implemented on the board from all sources and put them together.  

It's really hard to find some good examples for the eval board. Is there any official example projects from ST ?

Of course, the whole point of a GUI is that it provides an interface to some functionality.

It might use an RTOS; it might not.

If the source is anywhere, it would be in the Cube Firmware Pack, as @STTwo-32 mentioned.

TouchGFX can certainly work with FreeRTOS.

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Thank you for your prompt reply !

I certainly need to learn TouchGFX .

I feel like the GUI comes with the eval board is more than a GUI, it's a RTOS ? 
Because I can browse files, play the simple game, etc.

Hello @Embedded_Andy 

More application for display, FreeRTOS and other are given on the Applications Of the STM32CubeF4 Repository of the STM32F4 series.

Best Regards.
