Ethernut
Ethernut is an Open-source hardware, open source hardware and software project for use as an Embedded system, embedded-Ethernet-system. Hardware Currently four different reference designs exist (Ethernut 1, Ethernut 2, Ethernut 3 and Ethernut 5) which are available as ready to use boards. All reference designs share the same set of interfaces: * Ethernet Connector * RS-232 ports * Power connector * Nearly all I/O pins of the microcontroller are available on an expansion port The designs mainly differ in the used microcontroller (Ethernut 1 & 2: 8-bit Atmel AVR, AVR, Ethernut 3 & 5: 32-bit ARM architecture, ARM) and the available memory size. Since the Ethernut 3 board an Multimedia Card, MMC slot is available. Ethernut 5 also includes USB host and device interfaces. History With the rise of the idea of the Internet of Things, different groups of people with different aims started around 2000 developing embedded systems which would be able to integrate in existing TCP/IP ne ...

Open-source Hardware
Open-source hardware (OSH, OSHW) consists of physical artifact (software development), artifacts of technology designed and offered by the open-design movement. Both free and open-source software (FOSS) and open-source hardware are created by this open-source#Society, open-source culture movement and apply a like concept to a variety of components. It is sometimes, thus, referred to as free and open-source hardware (FOSH), meaning that the design is easily available ("open") and that it can be used, modified and shared freely ("free"). The term usually means that information about the hardware is easily discerned so that others can make it – coupling it closely to the maker culture, maker movement. Hardware design (i.e. mechanical drawings, circuit diagram, schematics, bills of material, printed circuit board, PCB layout data, hardware description language, HDL source code and integrated circuit layout data), in addition to the software that device driver, drives the hardware, a ...
