Projects

U-Boot

A boot loader for Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and other processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application code. The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of the source code ... [More] originate in the Linux source tree, we have some header files in common, and special provision has been made to support booting of Linux images. Some attention has been paid to make this software easily configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can load and run it dynamically. [Less]

Yocto Project

The Yocto Project™ is an open source collaboration project that provides templates, tools and methods to help you create custom Linux-based systems for embedded products regardless of the hardware architecture.

OpenELEC - Media Center Operating System

OpenELEC is a GNU/Linux distro combined with XBMC to give you the best possible experience for watching you media. Including but not limited to tv-shows, movies, music, web-media, etc. It's built upon a less-is-more philosophy and aim to provide an all-in-one solution. Making you as the user ... [More] , more focused on the media you consume, rather than spending hour after hour to setup your environment. [Less]

Yakindu Statechart Tools

The Yakindu Statechart Tools (SCT) support specification and development of reactive, event driven systems based on the concept of statecharts (aka state machines). State machines are well understood and formal enough to describe behavior unambiguously. The Statechart Tools support editing ... [More] , validating, simulating state machines and generating code from state machines. The simulation of a state machine is integrated into the state machine diagram editor and provides visual highlighting of the active state and the current transition. Additionally, the user can interact with the simulation by sending triggers to or by changing variable values within the simulator to drive the state machine. The Statechart Tools provide code generators for C and Java as target languages. [Less]

Distributed Industrial Automation

The Framework for Distributed Industrial Automation and Control (4DIAC) project aims on providing an open, IEC 61499 standard compliant basis, that gives the opportunity to establish a distributed industrial automation and control environment.

The Barebox Bootloader

Barebox (formerly known as u-boot-v2) is a bootloader that inherits the best of U-Boot and the Linux kernel: The size and look-and-feel of u-boot, with driver model and lots of design concepts from the Linux kernel.

Agar

Agar is a modern open-source, cross-platform toolkit for graphical applications implemented in C, C++ and Ada (with bindings to other languages in development). Designed for ease of integration, it follows the philosophy of building the GUI around the application and not the other way around. Unlike ... [More] most other GUI toolkits, Agar takes maximum advantage of hardware graphics acceleration when it is available via OpenGL, but it also supports traditional framebuffer interfaces such as SDL direct video. [Less]

Atomthreads

Free RTOS. Lightweight, portable, open source scheduler for embedded systems.

QM

QM is a free, graphical UML modeling tool for designing and implementing real-time embedded applications based on the QP state machine frameworks (see the QP project here on Ohloh). QM provides graphical UML state machine diagram editor and generates production-quality, portable, and human-readable ... [More] C or C++ code that is 100% traceable from the design. [Less]

Apparatus Framework

The Apparatus Framework is an object oriented software framework written in C++ for embedded applications. It implements RT-OS abstraction, simulation facilities, device and communication concepts, design pattern and more.
