Open Source Perl Hardware Platforms

The Open IPMI project aims to develop an open code base to allow access to platform information using Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI).

UrJTAG aims to create an enhanced, modern tool for communicating over JTAG with flash chips, CPUs, and many more. It is a descendant of the popular openwince JTAG tools with a lot of additional features and enhancements.

The Linux GPIB Package is a support package for GPIB (IEEE 488.2) hardware. The package contains a development environment consisting of a GPIB library written in C, kernel driver modules, and bindings for several other languages.

Please note that OWFS source code, and all Issue/Tickets/merge requests have now been moved to https://github.com/owfs/owfs/. Developer mailing lists will still be kept at Sourceforge. ---- OWFS -- 1-Wire file system. Use the Dallas 1-Wire and iButton chips with standard filesystem commands. Create temperature loggers. Monitor everything. OWHTTPD -- same system, only used as a light weight web server. OWFS is also ported to embedded routers, Mac OSX and Windows. Basically you can use these inexpensive little sensors and other chips with very simple wiring to sense and control the physical environment. The interface is very flexible -- everything from a web browser, to read and writing directly to the chip's "file" to integrating with your programs -- even over the internet. There is a growing number of 1-wire sensors: temperature, voltage, humidity, light, ultraviolet, pressure, thermisters, thermocouples, programmable microcontrollers, relays, lights, LCD panels, etc

Generic SCSI target subsystem for Linux SCST allows creation of sophisticated storage devices. It includes generic SCSI target core with SCSI target drivers and backend handlers. There are target drivers for iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SRP, SAS, FCoE, etc.

G15daemon provides support for the G15 keyboard. Multiple LCD clients are supported with a 'virtual' LCD buffer for applications or libraries, and all keys are usable. Users flip through connected screens with a press of a button.Linux, OS-X & Solaris

USBLib based driver for USB foam missile launcher toys. Currently two launchers are supported, but others can easily be added.

Firmware for Cypress' EZ-USB (AN2131) device that lets you use keyboards, mice etc. as USB compliant Human Interface Devices.

LavaRnd is a random number generator that converts a digitized chaotic source (such as a lens capped web camera) into cryptographically strong random numbers. LavaRnd comes with both an APIs (currently C and Perl) as well as a number of demos.

The ADQ project aims to provide device drivers and a terminal based data acquisition and control program for the Meilhaus ME26 data acquisition board and the Meilhaus ME53 relay boards. The data can also be displayed in real time with a Web page.

The Cerberus Test Control System is a free (freedom) test suite for use by developers and others to test hardware. Originally developed at VA Linux Systems, it includes a modular test system that allows you to build and integrate your own tests.

The original Cerberus Test Control System seems to be abandoned by its authors/developers. This project intends to revive it.

Change your desktop computer(just 386 and above right now) into a funny evolution board. Some subprojects are a Real Time OS , home automation server,....

4.4BSD-based UNIX-like operating system for CNC / machine control applications. Using low-cost hardware, FabBSD can be used to control a wide array of CNC milling machines, lathes, routers, process-control and automation equipment.

Linux based client software and a set of AVR microcontroller devices that support the SportIdent electronic punching system used in orienteering. Clients send card data to a PHP/SQL web application, that serves as full featured event software.

LibGPIB is a library of C++ classes which can be used to program various GPIB controllers and instruments including GPIB-ENET, GPIB-232-CT-A, and the NI488-GPIB cards.

GPTools is a selection of Linux tools for use with the GP32 handheld console, including the GPlink command-line transfer tool and GPlinkUI Perl::GTK2 front-end

This software allows you to read HP4145 Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer files on a Linux PC.

This project is an attempt to provide the Linux community with kernel drivers for two hugely popular DVD playback cards namely DXR3 from Creative Labs and Hollywood Plus from Sigma Designs.
