I looked at the teaching kernels xv6 from MIT, and Pintos from Stanford. They are both x86, and I've heard the same sentiment that you express, which makes me a bit hesitant to dive in. Does anyone know of something similar for x64? Or maybe ARM? Online course materials would be nice. http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs140/projects/pintos/pintos.html#SEC_Top http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs140/projects/pintos/pintos.h... http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2012/xv6.html http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2012/xv6.html

I doubt x64 would be less horrific. As for ARM, there is Cambridge's Baking Pi course http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/projects/raspberrypi/tutorials/os/ http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/projects/raspberrypi/tutorials/os/, which has you develop an "Operating System" for the Raspberry Pi. Although, from looking at it, it seems more like an embedded systems course than an OS course. It talks about controlling hardware like LEDs, monitor, and keyboard, but it doesn't talk about stuff that full-fledged operating systems have, like scheduling of userspace processes, memory mapping, filesystems, etc.
