Open Source Hardware

Open source hardware, means free and open source software the same way as the design of computers and electronic hardware. Open source hardware started to consider areas outside of the open source software is open source culture.

The term is mainly used to reflect the release of detailed information on free hardware design, such as schematics, bill of materials and board layout data, commonly used open source software to drive hardware.


Shared logic design with programmable logic devices and the Reconstruction, is a form of open source hardware.

Some open source hardware projects are:

ECB AT91 - Information on Atmel AT91RM9200 ARM9 processor (180 MHz) single-board computer

ECB ATmega32/644 - based on Atmel ATmega32/644 (20 MHz) single board computer, network server performance, and less than 100mA of power consumption

Simputer - for developing Pocket PC

Open Graphics Project aims to design an open architecture and standard graphics.

Sun Microsystems OpenSPARC is a contribution to the UltraSPARC T1 and UltraSPARC T2 multicore processor, the processor design of open-source project.

OpenRISC is a developer of open source work of very high performance RISC CPU.

LEON is an ESA created the open-source SPARC-like 32-bit CPU, the European Space industry standard microprocessors.

OpenCores is a foundation to try to form a design community, to support the open source core (logical design) of the processor, peripherals and other equipment. Wishbone maintain OpenCores called open 
source for chip interconnection bus specification. (Via Wikipedia)
In short, open source software, open source, open source hardware, open circuit.

How to Create Packages in Oracle Database using TOAD for Oracle

Image
What are Packages in Oracle Database A package is a group of procedures, functions, variables and SQL statements created as a single unit. It is used to store together related objects. A package has two parts, Package Specification and Package Body. Package Specification Package Specification acts as an interface to the package. Declaration of types, variables, constants, exceptions, cursors and subprograms is done in Package specifications. Package specification does not contain any code. Package Body Package body is used to provide implementation for the subprograms, queries for the cursors declared in the package specification.

How to create a Simple Scheduler Job in Oracle Database using Toad

Image
Scheduler is a process which runs programmed jobs at scheduled times. This process wakes up at the specified time and runs automatically. The basic elements of the scheduler are: Jobs Schedules Programs A job specifies what needs to be executed and when. A program is a collection of metadata that will be executed by the scheduler. It contains the name of the program (a procedure or an executable, the type of the program (pl/sql block, shell script etc). A schedule specifies when and how many times a job is executed. 1. Login to the database using Toad, and create a Scheduler Job as follows;
