Been asking this question for a long time. We need articles about architecture, what they write on and how. Do I need assembly language and knowledge of C, or is it possible somehow differently? Thanks in advance.

You can start by reading Tanenbaum - Modern operating systems.

In any case, OS development involves coding at the hardware level, in connection with this, of course, you will have to know assembler, C, and the hardware architecture for which the OS is being developed, and much more.
In general, to be honest, it is strange to see this on this resource. The answers to this question are perfectly googled.

I'll add my 5 cents. The source code for the XP kernel, the so-called WRK, is available to students for research purposes. They are available through DreamSpark Premium and may not be published or used for commercial purposes.
But the reading is very interesting.

) I've seen cores in C++ lately, but it's a little exotic and requires a lot of experience, so C is a classic of the genre + jam from Asma )
