...It decomposes key operating system functionality such as file systems, networking, device drivers and graphical user interface into a collection of fine-grained user space components that interact with each other via message passing. A failure or crash of one component does not directly harm others. HelenOS is therefore flexible, modular, extensible, fault tolerant and easy to understand. HelenOS does not aim to be a clone of any existing operating system and trades compatibility with legacy APIs for cleaner design. Most of HelenOS components have been made to order specifically for HelenOS so that its essential parts can stay free of adaptation layers, glue code, franken-components and the maintenance burden incurred by them.

Mark3 is a sophisticated RTOS and embedded systems toolkit, targeted towards a growing list of MCUs. Beyond providing "just another scheduler", it provides heaps, drivers, a shell, an event-driven GUI framework, and much more! It currently supports a variety of Atmel AVR, MSP430, and the ARM Cortex-M series of microcontrollers, with other platforms to follow. Mark3 was designed from the ground-up using disciplined object-oriented design principles - and unlike the vast majority of...

Note: the project is basically dead, as I started rewriting it but I don't have much free time to work on it. It's basically a micro-kernel, but on top of that, instead of having multiple servers running as standalone processes, it has a modular kernel, so that each server is a module of this kernel. The micro-kernel contains only the scheduler, memory management and drivers for high-speed devices (like gigabit ethernet NICs or video cards).

Real-time, modular, microkernel-based operating system under development for i386. The first goal is to support 32-bit DOS protected mode applications made with DJGPP as well as native applications.

Shadow-sources is a Linux Kernel Patchset that is designed to be stable, include fixes and performace enhancing patches, and is designed to be modular allowing others to easily include or subtract patches, while keeping focus on Server stability.

Components supporting real-time, reliability, high-availability, and security services in standard operating environments. Starting with the C5 modular microkernel, a RT-POSIX layer based on FreeBSD 4.1, and the CDE cross-development environment.

The goal of the Basic Operating System (BOS) project is to write a new modular and fast operating system in NASM and GCC.
