Open Source Perl Hardware Platforms

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

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.

Identify sizes of memory modules installed on a Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD or HP-UX workstation or server. memconf reports the size of each SIMM/DIMM memory module installed in a system. It also reports the system type and any empty memory sockets. In verbose mode, it also reports the following information if available: - banner name, model and CPU/system frequencies - address range and bank numbers for each module

This utility is further development of Gerd Hoffmann's AMTTOOL. It now allows: remote power control with full sort of iAMT boot features; view general, audit, remote device's info; iAMT device network administration; get/sync the iAMT device's time; user access control management; list hardware asset; manipulation of Audit feature; change various security settings; manage iAMT power saving; setup redirection service; administer platform events logging and alerting by snmp traps.

wx200d is a weather station data collector and server daemon for the WX200, WM918, WMR918 and WMR968 weather station hardware.

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.

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

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.

A hardware configuration and tweaking program for Dell laptops running Ubuntu Linux. This program was written for anyone who desires to automate the configuration of incorrectly configured or unsupported hardware.

A linux driver and script that runs in the user space that enables synaptic touchpads to have advanced multi-touch features, not currently available. Read my blog for more info randomtruthsblog.synthasite.com. It only confirmed working on macbooks but a

This is a Perl application enabling downloading and configuring the Voltcraft DL-141TH temperature and humidity sensors device. Targeted at Operating Systems supporting libusb. This application exists thanks to reverse engineering.

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.

AIDEN dumps OS (AIX) configuration data and hardware configuration data (HMC) to XML files, correlates it and outputs a PDF. Originally intended for DR documentation purposes it also allows for summary and description to be included on a per node basis.
