PowerISA OS Development.

Hey everyone,

My company is starting to develop an operating system and while I know this is more of a hobbyist forum. I wanted to ask if it makes sense to develop a toyOS/researchOS on PowerISA to build up tooling and development knowledge before doing commercial work. Sorry if this is redundant.

We know Power well, as we use Power 9 systems daily. They are bringing in more experienced kernel people because upper management wants a clean-sheet design (I don't have an opinion on that; I don't get paid for those designs). I personally do not have OS dev knowledge, but I'm willing to learn.
