Open Source Hardware Platforms

xfer9860 works with the fx-9860G (AKA Graph85) versions of Casio's graphing calculators. It allows you to transfer files to your calculator, and works on platforms where libusb is available - including Linux and Windows.

MDF is microkernel operating system. Module architecture minimalistic design.

Compiler and device support for Ada programs on the ultra-low-power TI MSP430 microcontrollers. This project builds on the Gnu Gnat/GCC Ada compiler, the Sourceforge mspgcc back-end and MSP430 CPU support. It was inspired by the Sourceforge AVR-Ada project.

The OS561 operating system based around FORTH/Java. The OS is to run on a VHDL chip OpenHardware design called the Minon, but could become available for other platforms. The unique point of the design is a revolutionary data compression technology.

Maiden-core is a Linux kernel robotics API module, extensible in Erc. The Maiden Project also documents and develops the Maiden architecture for mobile robots, a set of (optional) designs and standards for robots using the Maiden-core API.

The Wolfram Machine project is an effort to create a set of documentation and useful modules (both hardware and software) for a computing architecture based on the mathematical theories presented in Steven Wolfram's book _A_New_Kind_of_Science_.

XSystem Kernel Project - an object-oriented 32-bit protected-mode operating system for IA32-architecture.

gasVM is a 32-bit, register-based virtual machine that has been designed to support a game that the author has undertaken for the development of a game for a game Competition, "Gary's Adventure of Science!" It is designed so that it may one day be implemented and hardware, and is designed to be a RISC machine. While this VM is designed for a single game, it is hoped that it will be useful for others who are looking for a virtual machine platform to embed within their software.
