Open Source Linux Hardware Platforms

smartmontools contains utility programs (smartctl, smartd) to control/monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.) built into most modern ATA and SCSI disks. It is derived from smartsuite.

Project's goal is to create better tools for diagnosing Linux systems. Diagnostics include first failure data capture, error log analysis, preventative testing, and system inventory gathering. You can now find Power System specific packages on github. libservicelog : https://github.com/power-ras/libservicelog servicelog : https://github.com/power-ras/servicelog lsvpd : https://github.com/power-ras/lsvpd libvpd : https://github.com/power-ras/libvpd ppc64-diag : https://github.com/power-ras/ppc64-diag sysfsutils is moved to github. New home for sysfsutils : https://github.com/linux-ras/sysfsutils

Serial line sniffer (slsnif). slsnif is a serial port logging utility. It listens to the specified serial port and logs all data going through this port in both directions.

G15daemon provides support for the G15 keyboard. Multiple LCD clients are supported with a 'virtual' LCD buffer for applications or libraries, and all keys are usable. Users flip through connected screens with a press of a button.Linux, OS-X & Solaris

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

Simple UPS monitoring plugin for GKrellM. Uses NUT (Network UPS Tools) for UPS connection. Based on "GKrellM Belkin UPS Plugin".

bbacpi is simple tool for X that shows some information on the battery of laptops using acpi. Main features are (all optionals): battery level (gauge & label), battery lifetime, temperature (gauge & label), state of adapter (label or graphics).

FlexMon is a flexible system monitoring system for Unix. In a client-server framework, plugins for e.g. load average, process status, disk status, CPU fan/temerature are provided. A command-line client exists, with a GUI and CGI interface to come.

###### HDDtempNC has now moved to Github ###### ###### Please visit the Github project at https://github.com/viharm/HDDtempNC ###### HDDtempNC provides a script to acquire hard disk drive temperature for a target host by querying an existing HDDtemp daemon and then parse the results according to the request. See project wiki for more details, usage and code.

The LibMotionControl combines different serial protocols of external motion controllers to one generic interface. It is already implemented for one DC-motor (Maxon ASCII-protocol) and two stepper motor controllers (AML, Phytron). This are user level driv

This project intends to build a complete CallerID-function for home- or small buisniess environments. It depends on simple hardware which everyone can build. It will present the incomming call's number on every workstation on the network.

PootyPedia is a tool to track the hardware in use by a software project. Its client software finds the hardware and reports it, while the server software tracks the reports and keeps them organized in a database.

Porcupine2 is a small wearable sensory unit for logging motion data and doing low-level activity recognition. The project includes electronic schematics for the hardware, software for the microcontroller and client-side software for hardware-interaction.

This project uses the Qt version 4 library do display with a GUI the internal traffic counter of a Fritz!Box 7270 and similar devices of AVM. Telnet access has to be enabled at the FritzBox.

This project is a python script to abstract S.M.A.R.T. messages from /var/log/messages (from the smartd daemon) into .csv file(s), one for each disk, suitable for graphing.

The SysMonitor (also Mosyloon) is software for real-time checking load of CPU on unix/linux machines over the Internet. Including server side CLI utility and unix/linux/windows GUI client. The SysMonitor displaying system and user load separately.

This RRDTool Framework provides a central HTTP-based service for import into standard RRD DBs and graph generation. A lightweight, easily extendable agent for the data sources is pushing updates with minimal resource consumption on the master service.

Strokey is a small hardware keyboard logger saving all keystrokes into an EEPROM memory for later investigation. The device may get attached to any PS/2-keyboard by intercepting the cable, or get placed directly inside for maximum invisibility.

hardware log monitor that will display log behaviour via various hardware (parallel port, USB devices, ...). You can specify pattern(regexp) in log(s) on which hardware will turn on. It has also some unique ways of visualization of log files.

Show system and ISDN information on external liquid crystal displays

administration tool for getting/changing linux 2.6 scsi log level in an user-friendly way

Thermal Control (thctl) is a toolset for controlling system temperature.

A daemon to automatically control the fan speed of Thinkpad laptops using the ThinkPad ACPI Extras Driver in order to minimize noise pollution and extend battery life.

wmacpi_temp is a Window Maker dock application that reads the temperature file in /proc/acpi in ACPI-enabled kernels. It displays the temperature of the processor in Celcius or Fahrenheit and updates every minute.
