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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

MisterHouse is a Windows/Unix home automation program written in Perl. It can respond to voice commands, web browsers, time of day, serial port and X10 data, external files, etc and can speak via Text to Speech engines. Support is on https://sourceforge.net/p/misterhouse/mailman/misterhouse-users/ and code is maintained on https://github.com/hollie/misterhouse

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

THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN FINISHED. USE NODOKA ( http://www.appletkan.com/nodoka.htm ) or YAMY ( http://sourceforge.jp/projects/yamy/ ) INSTEAD. Let's customize all key bindings on Windows. For example, we can use a notepad.exe as if it were an emacs!

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

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.

This is a set of small programs and patches to configure the advanced features of some laptops, such as enabling the extra onetouch/multimedia keys, console blanking, battery and temperature reporting, etc. Many HPs and Toshiba Satellites are supported.

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

Microcontroller (AVR) based standalone digital light controllers ("dimmers"). The "Diamond" series supports 20 channels (TRIAC, FET, 0-10V, relay) with automatic fading, 20 scenes, 21 timers, IR remote, LCD, DMX-512 interface, global standby & more.

SmGen is a finite state machine (FSM) generator for Verilog. On the other hand, it is not an FSM entry tool. The input is behavioral Verilog with clock boundaries specifically set by the designer. SmGen unrolls this behavioral code and generates an FSM from it in synthesizable Verilog. Clock boundaries are explicitly provided by the designer so there is good control on the expected timing

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Qwpr (pronounced "qwipper", named for the first four keys) is a keyboard layout that's easy to learn (only 11 keys move from their qwerty positions), easy to type (32% better by the Carpalx metric), practical (programmer's punctuation, arrow keys, and all major accented characters easily accessed without moving your hands off the three main rows), and very complete (over 1000 unicode characters and combinations available). The project also includes the tools I used to translate this layout from OSX to Windows format; linux tools pending.

iPod was designed to work with the Mac. It was almost immediately made to work with Windows. Now I want to make it work with Linux. I started this project in hopes that it would become a central repository for all the work that is going on.
