Operating System is the bridge between computer hardware and software. It is the key to understand how computers represent data, execute programs, and control peripherals. Common subtopics includes System Programming, Hardware / Software Interface etc.
Most courses of Operation Systems require students to have the following knowledge backgrounds:

This course focuses on providing an introduction to operating systems with a specific emphasis on embedded systems, interacting with hardware, and verification. Students will have hands-on experience through labs and will build their own simple, clean operating system for an ARM-based Raspberry Pi. The course offers opportunities to work with real hardware and primary-source documents, encouraging a deeper understanding of computation on real hardware.
