Open Source Perl Hardware Platforms

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.

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.

lm-sensors is the canonical Linux project for reading motherboard and peripheral hardware sensors—temperatures, fan speeds, voltages—and exposing them to userspace. It ships a probing utility (sensors-detect) that identifies I²C/SMBus chips and kernel drivers, then a runtime tool (sensors) that prints human-readable readings for quick diagnostics. The companion library, libsensors, gives applications a stable API to query sensor values, enabling desktop applets, monitoring daemons, and alerting systems to build on a common foundation. Configuration files map raw chip registers to friendly labels and scaling factors, so outputs reflect real hardware characteristics across many vendors. With this foundation, higher-level tools (like fancontrol or graphical monitors) can automate cooling policies and warn about thermal or power issues before they become failures.

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.

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

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

System Configurator is a utility for automatically configuring networking and bootstrapping in a Linux Distribution and Architecture agnostic way.

RackMonkey is a tool for managing racks of equipment such as servers and switches. You can keep track of what's where, which OS it runs, who it belongs and what it's used for. RackMonkey quickly finds any device and draws a rack diagram of its location

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.

Eagle-usb is a Linux driver for DSL USB modems based on the Analog chipset Eagle 8051 (ADImodem). eagle-usb is now replaced by ueagle-atm. The Sagem F@st 800, Sureconnect 9000, ct-350 and others are reported to work. See forum.eagle-usb.org for support

A GUI for the iRiver iFP driver for linux (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ifp-driver/). This graphical frontend is made with GTK2-perl.

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

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.

You can now find powerpc-utils and powerpc-utils-python on github. https://github.com/nfont/powerpc-utils https://github.com/nfont/powerpc-utils-python The powerpc-utils package provides a set of tools and utilities and utilities for maintaining and enabling certain features of Linux on Power.

A small, portable, client/server GUI designed to work on many types of hardware, including handheld computers and other embedded systems. For more information and downloads, see http://picogui.org

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

Rackview is a Perl module that assists in visualizing a Data Center\'s computer rack layouts by creating a web page with HTML tables to show a frontview of the racks. Included are brief commandline and CGI scripts to demonstrate its implementation.

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.

Utility for presentation of Physical & Logical Storage for AIX. It use output from system commands to make presentation of VGs, LVs and disks in HTML format.

Visual GUI programmer for Attiny26 microcontroller for outputting assembly, assembling into hexedecimal and uploading to hardware with an intuitive interface (Tekbots-OSU).

BRMABench is a system of benchmark per comparison. This benchmark makes diverse routines of test in one determined time, the final time expense is always the same and what it determines score it is the amount of interactions in this same time.

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