Note that there is a huge, and confusing, range of literature on "bare 
metal OS" design.

I found a fairly clean and small open-source microkernel with good 
explanatory documentation.

http://phoenix-rtos.com/documentation/README.md

It only runs on a few embedded systems (arm 32 and risc-v 64), but the 
code base is compact and looks clean.

When I find the explanations confusing, I find it helpful to read the 
code, and vise versa.
