Hardware Monitor applet 1.4
The Hardware Monitor applet is a small program for the Gnome panel. more>>
Hardware Monitor applet is a small program for the Gnome panel which tries to be a beautiful all-round solution to hardware monitoring.
It also tries to be user-friendly and generally nice and sensible, integrating pleasantly with the rest of your Gnome desktop.
Main features:
- A graphical view where each monitor is represented by a (time, measurement) colored curve
- A bar-plot view with a horizontal bar per monitor
- A column view with a column (time, measurement) diagram for each monitor
- A textual view which simply lists the monitors and the currently measured values
- A flame view which produces spiffy flames, the sizes of which are determined by the values of the monitored device
And the applet supports monitoring the following hardware characteristics:
- CPU usage (all CPUs, or one at the time) - niced background processes such as SETI@home are automatically ignored
- Memory usage - cache and buffers are automatically ignored
- Swap usage
- Load average
- Disk usage (or disk space free)
- Network throughput (Ethernet, wireless, modem, serial link), either incoming or outgoing or both
- Temperatures from internal sensors (e.g. system board and CPU temperatures)
- Fan speeds from internal sensors
- To avoid eating CPU time when it is scarce, the applet lowers its priority.

Hardware::Vhdl::Lexer 1.00
Hardware::Vhdl::Lexer is a Perl module that can split VHDL code into lexical tokens. more>>
Hardware::Vhdl::Lexer is a Perl module that can split VHDL code into lexical tokens.
SYNOPSIS
use Hardware::Vhdl::Lexer;
# Open the file to get the VHDL code from
my $fh;
open $fh, new({ linesource => $fh });
# Dump all the tokens
my ($token, $type);
while( (($token, $type) = $lexer->get_next_token) && defined $token) {
print "# type = $type token=$tokenn";
}
Hardware::Vhdl::Lexer splits VHDL code into lexical tokens. To use it, you need to first create a lexer object, passing in something which will supply chunks of VHDL code to the lexer. Repeated calls to the get_next_token method of the lexer will then return VHDL tokens (in scalar context) or a token type code and the token (in list context). get_next_token returns undef when there are no more tokens to be read.
NB: in this documentation I refer to "lines" of VHDL code and "line" sources etc., but in fact the chunks of code dont have to be broken up at line-ends - they can be broken anywhere that isnt in the middle of a token. New-line characters just happen to be a simple and safe way to split up a file. You dont even have to split up the VHDL at all, you can pass in the whole thing as the first and only "line".

Hardware::iButton::Device 0.03
Hardware::iButton::Device is a Perl object to represent iButtons. more>>
Hardware::iButton::Device is a Perl object to represent iButtons.
SYNOPSIS
use Hardware::iButton::Connection;
$c = new Hardware::iButton::Connection "/dev/ttyS0";
@b = $c->scan();
foreach $b (@b) {
print "id: ", $b->id(), ", reg0: ",$b->readreg(0),"n";
}
This module talks to iButtons via the "active" serial interface (anything using the DS2480, including the DS1411k and the DS 9097U). It builds up a list of devices available, lets you read and write their registers, etc.
The connection object is an Hardware::iButton::Connection. The main user-visible purpose of it is to provide a list of Hardware::iButton::Device objects. These can be subclassed once their family codes are known to provide specialized methods unique to the capabilities of that device. Those devices will then be Hardware::iButton::Device::DS1920, etc.

Hardware::Simulator ==> a Perl Hardware Descriptor Language
Hardware::Simulator is a lightweight version of VHDL or Verilog HDL. All of these languages were developed as means to describe hardware.
Hardware::Simulator was created as a means to quickly prototype a basic hardware design and simulate it. VHDL and Verilog are both restrictive in their own ways. Hardware::Simulator was created to quickly put something together as a "proof of concept", to show that a design concept would work or not. and then the design could be translated to VHDL or Verilog.
The problem that started all of this was designing a fifo for a video scaling asic. The chip used a buffer to store incoming video data. The asic read the buffer to generate the outgoing video image. We estimated how large we thought the buffer needed to be, but we wanted to confirm that our numbers were right by running simulations.
The problem was we needed to run hundreds of different simulations, given the permutations of input image formats, output image formats, and input/output clock frequencies. We also had text files containing valid formats and frequencies. A text file as input called for perl to manipulate, split, format, and extract the data properly.
This data then had to be translated onto the a HDL simulation. The problem was that there was no easy way to write a perl script that would simulate hardware, so the only solution was to have perl drive a Verilog simulator and pass all these parameters via command line parameters. so then verilog files had to be created, and the simulator had to be driven, and the end result was a lot of work to simulate a simple fifo.
Time contraints did not allow me to develop a HDL package for perl to solve the original problem, but I took it on in my spare time. and eventually Hardware::Simulator was born.

Amiga Research Operating System 20060207
Amiga Research Operating System (AROS) is a portable and free desktop operating system. more>>
Amiga Research Operating System (AROS) is a portable and free desktop operating system aiming at being compatible with AmigaOS 3.1, while improving on it in many areas. The source code is available under an open source license, which allows anyone to freely improve upon it.
Goals
The goals of the AROS project is it to create an OS which:
1. Is as compatible as possible with AmigaOS 3.1.
2. Can be ported to different kinds of hardware architectures and processors, such as x86, PowerPC, Alpha, Sparc, HPPA and other.
3. Should be binary compatible on Amiga and source compatible on any other hardware.
4. Can run as a standalone version which boots directly from hard disk and as an emulation which opens a window on an existing OS to develop software and run Amiga and native applications at the same time.
5. Improves upon the functionality of AmigaOS.
To reach this goal, we use a number of techniques. First of all, we make heavy use of the Internet. You can participate in our project even if you can write only one single OS function. The most current version of the source is accessible 24 hours per day and patches can be merged into it at any time. A small database with open tasks makes sure work is not duplicated.
History
Some time back in the year 1993, the situation for the Amiga looked somewhat worse than usual and some Amiga fans got together and discussed what should be done to increase the acceptance of our beloved machine. Immediately the main reason for the missing success of the Amiga became clear: it was propagation, or rather the lack thereof. The Amiga should get a more widespread basis to make it more attractive for everyone to use and to develop for. So plans were made to reach this goal. One of the plans was to fix the bugs of the AmigaOS, another was to make it an modern operating system. The AOS project was born.
But exactly what was a bug? And how should the bugs be fixed? What are the features a so-called modern OS must have? And how should they be implemented into the AmigaOS?
Two years later, people were still arguing about this and not even one line of code had been written (or at least no one had ever seen that code). Discussions were still of the pattern where someone stated that "we must have ..." and someone answered "read the old mails" or "this is impossible to do, because ..." which was shortly followed by "youre wrong because ..." and so on.
In the winter of 1995, Aaron Digulla got fed up with this situation and posted an RFC (request for comments) to the AOS mailing list in which I asked what the minimal common ground might be. Several options were given and the conclusion was that almost everyone would like to see an open OS which is compatible to AmigaOS 3.1 (kickstart 40.68) on which further discussions could be based upon to see what is possible and what is not.
So the work began and AROS was born.

The Modular Manual Browser is a set scripts designed as a man/apropos work-alike. more>>
The Modular Manual Browser is a set scripts designed as a man/apropos work-alike. It indexes manual pages across different operating systems and displays them in a searchable database in a Web browser.
It is easy to set up and includes highlighting, linking support in man pages, browsing and searching of pages, categories, and manuals.
It can also optionally set up a database containing descriptions of pages from the page titles.
Enhancements:
- BUGS, COPYING, INSTALL, INSTALL.roff, Makefile, README, README.roff, TODO.sh, config.php, index.php, mandb.php, modfunc.php, modman.php, api/files.php, api/modfunc.php, api/pages.php, api/whatis.php, install/BUGS, install/COPYING, install/INSTALL, install/INSTALL.roff, install/Makefile, install/README, install/README.roff, install/TODO.sh, tmp/.local: api split up, install data moved, so that modman may be dropped directly into webspace. mandb.php can pick up multi-line descriptions now.
Apropos results can be filtered by Section or Manual, but not Page (obviously).
whatis pseudo-database implemented, enabled by default in config.
Sections include Subsections (3->3ucb, 3ucb->3ucblib). Local Apropos and description support added via apropos/whatis programs.

- BUGS, COPYING, INSTALL, INSTALL.roff, Makefile, README, README.roff, TODO.sh, config.php, index.php, mandb.php, modfunc.php, modman.php, api/files.php, api/modfunc.php, api/pages.php, api/whatis.php, install/BUGS, install/COPYING, install/INSTALL, install/INSTALL.roff, install/Makefile, install/README, install/README.roff, install/TODO.sh, tmp/.local: api split up, install data moved, so that modman may be dropped directly into webspace. mandb.php can pick up multi-line descriptions now.
Apropos results can be filtered by Section or Manual, but not Page (obviously).
whatis pseudo-database implemented, enabled by default in config.
Sections include Subsections (3->3ucb, 3ucb->3ucblib). Local Apropos and description support added via apropos/whatis programs.
