Library to enable user space application programs to communicate with USB devices

NB: Development has been moved to Github: https://github.com/avrdudes/avarice AVaRICE is a program for interfacing the Atmel JTAG ICE to GDB to allow users to debug their embedded AVR target.

Parallel Events and Asynchronous tasKing Library. Originally combining multi-threading with an efficient I/O event model, it's now more a lightweight object-oriented framework for event-based applications.

URBI: Universal Robotic Body Interface. URBI is a scripted command language used to control robots (AIBO, pioneer,...). It is a robot-independant API based on a client/server architecture. Liburbi C++/Java/Matlab are available here. Forum available at ht

The "JTAG-GDB server" is a program for integrating the ARM-Embedded ICE logic with the GNU-Debugger GDB.

FPGAsm is a low-level alternative to verilog and VHDL. A near-instant 'assembler for FPGAs', this simple yet powerful language facilitates bottom-up design, layout and wiring of modules, and generation of .xdl output. With about 10 keywords to learn, you can start making circuits in minutes. Now you can focus on learning the ins and outs of the FPGA instead of complex tools and languages. Fast turnaround time and bottom-up approach invite exploration, experimentation, live circuit testing and physical test harness creation, radically changing the workflow. FPGAsm offers you an opportunity to REALLY understand Xilinx FPGAs, create circuits DIRECTLY on the FPGA using an opensource tool, and share your knowlege and projects with the community. Supported architectures: Xilinx (via xdl)

OCP - Open Controller Platform is software platform that makes it easy to build a cross-compilation toolchain with C compiler, assembler, emulator and programming tools for embedded micro corntroller systems.

Relacy is a framework for agent-oriented programming in C++. Agents are autonomous objects, they interact fully asynchronously with messages. Relacy provides means for defining user agents and messages, as well as runtime system.

xSTreamC is a streaming language developed by STMicroelectronics to support the mapping of data intensive streaming applications on distributed multiprocessor SoCs. A compiler and a simulation library are provided.
