- Operating System Design: Internet Working With Xinu by Douglas Comer (1987) is a nice explanation with lots of C code of how to add a networking stack to an operating system, in this case his educational unix-inspired XINU.
- I started a toy OS years ago based on the book Operating System Design by Douglas Comer. Personally I just couldn't get excited about anything that didn't run on real hardware, so I made mine for Raspberry Pi.
Is there any real hardware that this could run on?
Looking through this seems to use a lot of assembly. In the above the amount of assembly is kept to a minimum. Pretty much just bootstrapping and context switching. The rest is done in C.
