OpenSOC86 is an open implementation of the x86 architecture in Verilog. The current version only implements the 16-bit part (real mode). The processor is a pipelined architecture clocked at 100 MHz in a Cyclone II speed grade -6. Therefore it can be seen as similar to a 486 in real mode. Several peripherals are also implemented in a somewhat minimalistic way, but enough to be able to boot an IBM PCXT compatible bios and MSDOS 6.22. The current implementation is only proven to boot the bios and DOS in simulation. The system is targeted to run on the DE2-70 board. In order to run the system in hardware a SDRAM and SRAM controller need to be added. These are currently in development.

VTracer is a Verilog Testbench developer aid. Contains well documented Verilog-Perl co-simulation environment (TCP sockets based), structural Verilog parser, demo Testbenches.

The “lpACLib” library contains the VHDL description of accurate and approximate versions of several arithmetic modules (like adders and multiplier of different bit-widths) and accelerators. Moreover, it also provides the corresponding software behavioral models/implementations developed in C and MATLAB to enable quality characterization. Besides our novel designs, it also contains implementations for several state-of-the-art arithmetic modules and their approximate versions. This open-source library facilitates research and development in approximate computing at higher abstraction levels, and to facilitate reproducible research and comparisons. In case of usage, please refer to our publication: Muhammad Shafique, Rehan Hafiz, Semeen Rehman, Walaa El-Harouni, Jörg Henkel, "Cross-Layer Approximate Computing: From Logic to Architectures", Design Automation Conference (DAC), 2016.

AKO provides hardware and software for rapid prototyping and development of robotic projects. It utilizes a distributed microcontroller network with a centralized controller.

We provide MATLAB and Verilog Models of GeAr, and previously proposed adders (ACA-I, ETAII, ACA-II and GDA) at http://sourceforge.net/projects/approxadderlib/ GeAr is a low latency Generic Accuracy Configurable Adder that provides a higher number of potential configurations compared to state-of-the-art approximate adders, thus enabling a high degree of flexibility and trade-off between performance and output quality. These MATALB and Verilog models can allow software programmer as well as hardware designers to evaluate their code and design. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first open-source library of approximate adders that facilitates reproducible comparisons and further research and development in this direction across various layers of design abstraction. This work is a result of collaborative effort between Chair for Embedded Systems (CES) at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany and Vision Image and Signal Processing (VISpro) Lab at SEECS-NUST, Pakistan.

This is a sketch for Arduino that allows for the user to have multiple sketches on their Arduino, and then switch between them. For a video go to (coming soon). Requires Arduino 0022 or later to use get Arduino here: www.arduino.cc

CONECT is a software to design, setup, commission and test home and building-automation systems. It will support various bus systems such as EIB.

CheckFence is a SAT-based formal verification tool that analyzes C code implementing concurrent data types on multiprocessors (concurrent queues, sets etc.) with respect to a selected memory model.

Dioscuri is an x86 computer hardware emulator written in Java. It is designed by the digital preservation community to make sure that documents and programs from the past can still be accessed in the future. Dioscuri is durable and component-based.

Eppnics: Electronic parallel port network interfaced control system. Eppnics allows you to control electronic circuits connected to a parallel port via a TCP/IP connection.

FoxController is a cross-platform application wich allows to control etherogeneous devices through a general pupose web service interface. FoxController uses a plug-in architecture in order to implement the low level communication with the devices

Please note, we've moved to gnuradio.org.

The GNU/Gtk BlowIt is a (E)EPROM programmer that currently supports AT89C2051 (mcs-51 compatible) microcontrollers, with plans to support other devices. The project was originally started by Ondrej Kolonicny.

This project aims to develop a colour-based vision processing system for use in RoboCup. We are using a CCD camera for input to an FPGA. The system locates coloured objects and outputs detected corners.

Java library that interfaces with "The USB INSTEON PowerLinc Controller" built by Smartlabs Design. This library is built on top of the javax.usb linux reference implementation, but should work under Windows as well.

The MP4Free project provides a simulation, analysis and exploration platform for multi-processor system-on-chip applications at variable level of abstraction, providing also a comprehensive component library.

This project aims at developing usable software for Jeff-Han-style multitouch-tables. As there is no "official" multitouch-lib yet, it comes with its own until something better is found. Currently, the applications are only proof of concept but usable.

OpenBeanPie intends to implement an integration with BeanShell Java Interpreter and a little abstraction/simplification layer over WiiRemoteJ in order to obtain an interpreter for scripts that control Nintendo's Wiimotes behaviour.
