What is the next step when you have created a new operating system?

*serious question

Some features:

- Based on a micro-kernel structure - (Not based on Linux) - ≈70K LOC, Assembly. - with a HTTP server embedded - low-power management - with own easy-to-use CMDs (more than Arduino or Raspberry) - with complex algorithms (PID, FFT, Autonomous navigation, artificial vision...)

At the risk of pouring cold water on the idea, I wonder why you need to create a new operating system at all.

If it's just a matter of NIH ('Not Invented Here' syndrome) I'd say don't waste your precious time to re-invent the wheel unnecessarily.

On the other hand, if you create a new operating system because there is a definite unfulfilled requirement for it, then the next step(s) to take will be self-evident.

Think about what you'd use the os for. In general I'd say:

Programming tools (text editor, assembler, compiler)

Simple office software (spreadsheet, database)

Multimedia (music/video player, image viewer/editor)

Toys (simple games, demos, emulators)

Find a PLC manufacturer and license it to them? Find some low cost processors or fpgas and port your OS to them?
