Richard Stallman: On Free Hardware
Stallman's views, definition, problems. Linux Today.
Manticore
Was "The HULK"; hardware design for a 3D graphics accelerator, written fully in VHDL. Open source.
Open Source Hardware: Birth of a Long Tail Market?
Asks what if creating computer hardware became as individualized, as free from corporate control, as open source software, with future scenario where this occurs.
Writings on Open Source Hardware
A collection of links to writings on themes related to Open Source Hardware like definitions, libraries, talks and conferences.
OpenCollector Database
Site has a searchable index of many designs, tools and manufacturers.
DAISY: Dynamically Architected Instruction Set from Yorktown
Goals: make VLIW and other novel ILP architectures fully compatible with common extant architectures such as PowerPC, x86, S/390, and Java Virtual Machine.
Ronja (Reasonable Optical Near Joint Access)
Optical point-to-point data link.
Hamburg VHDL Archive
Set of VHDL documentation, models, tools; all free, public-domain, or shareware.
Open Graphics Project: OGP
Goals: design an open source hardware, architecture and standard for graphics cards, mainly for open source software and operating systems.
ARM Developments
Embedded system based on ATMEL AT91M40800 processor and Network Card based on Crystal CS8900A.
Bug Labs
Develops BUG: modular software and hardware platform, web-enabled, set of pre-matched components: color screen, camera (video enabled), GPS, accelerometer; snap together, no soldering. Open source.
Bootloader for Microchip PIC USB Microcontroller
Bootloader updates firmware through HID interface – use of generic Windows drivers. XTEA encryption for firmware protection.
Ethernut
