Open Source Linux 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

The Xbox Linux Project aims to privide a version of GNU/Linux for the Xbox, so that it can be used as an ordinary computer. Linux should make use of all Xbox hardware and allow to install and run software from standard i386 Linux distributions.

This project aims to be an open-source driver for iRiver's great iFP flash portable player (www.iriver.com).

FileSystem is an OPENSOURCE program for advanced disk management with built-in drivers for PATA IDE Hard Disks and DVD/CDROM Drives, USB Mass Storage Drivers. Implemented file systems : FAT32 / ISO9660 / EXT2. It can be compiled for DOS, LINUX, WIN32

JNode is a Java New Operating system Design Effort. JNode is a simple to use and install Java operating system for personal use on modern devices. Any java application runs on it, fast and safe. See our homepage for additional information.

USB resetting is the closest equivalent to physically unplugging and re-plugging a USB device. you might ask , How is that useful ? well the use cases will be different from user to another. In my case, it helps with accessing my slightly damaged old USB external hard drive after a mount in unix-like OSes without any i/o issues. Another one is, loop resetting my USB headset solves some weird glitching sound i constantly have while using them. Those are my special use cases. There most be more, that it can help with.

Operating system project from scratch to design and implement all components from boot strapping,hardware interrupts , memory manger ,file system , etc .

The Linux InfiniBand Project is a collection of sub-projects focused around providing InfiniBand drivers for existing 2.4 based kernels. See Home Page for details.

A command line client for Jan Derogee's Cassiopei module for CBM computers line C64, VIC20, PET etc.

ConfigFS is a linux kernel patch that tries to make more information available about drivers and the devices that they manage. In a second step it should also be used to allow the configuration of drivers.

Open Source driver and interface for the Cowon iAudio CW300 and CW200 portable MP3 players

This project aims to provide (initially) read acces of FAT16 formatted MMC/SD cards for Microchip PIC 18-series

This project demonstrates FAT12 file system as interface to control LPC2148 with FreeRTOS. Control interface is exposed via USB mass storage device with virtual FAT12 file system and using files read/write access to provide control interface to HW.

FreeBSD Control Center is a tool that provides a graphical environment for configuration, tuning and making services available in an few clicks of the mouse.

This project provides a set of new features and fixes for MTD drivers and JFFS2 file system intended to improve MTD and JFFS2 performance and reduce JFFS2 RAM usage. Bug fixes are available in form of patches for the particular kernel.

Love-Sources is a Linux kernel patchset maintained by a community. Its purpose is to provide a patchset to optimize desktop performance and test new "unstable" features.

Minirighi is a multi-threading open-source operating system written for didactic purpose. It has been written from scratch and it is compatible with POSIX.

A kernel written by Merck Hung. IA32 architecture, 32-bit protected mode, Memory paging, Keyboard, Timer Interrupt Handling, and a simple kernel shell to operate. Written in C language, development under Linux environment.

A fuse based filesystem to allow users to copy image files to an Optimus Mini 3 Keyboard.

SimOS is an OS that will be based on the OSKIT function library. In addition we will be maintaining the oskit as a seperate release, updated as the core of the kernel. This OS will be easy to use, with numerous software versions on it.

A virtual floppy drive that mounts image files (*.img) as new browseable computer resources. Tested from WinXP (32bit) to Win7 (64bit). Derived from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vfd/

Submount is a new attempt to solve the removable media problem for Linux. Its purpose is to automatically mount and unmount cd, floppy, and other removable media drives while remaining entirely invisible to the user.

BDwrap is a template for writing stackable block device drivers on Linux. It's clean interface hides the complexity of device handling, asynchronous calls, buffer cache interaction, etc. It is a great tool to develop stacked block drivers quickly.

Trieste is a distributed file system aimed to be adaptable via policies.

The Trion Object Oriented Operating system is an OS that is designed to meet the needs for the 21st century, with a kernel written in C++ and modelled in UML, and lots of features. The project is run by a team of OSDev.org community members.
