Learning operating system development using Linux kernel and Raspberry Pi
This new resource to learn how to code an operating system is not yet finished but the fact that is it on a Raspberry Pi can make it interesting for a lot of people out there. It will probably be finished by the time you reach the lesson 6 about Virtual memory management, the last lesson currently done.
