Instrumentation Laboratory is part of CETUC, the Center for Telecommunications Studies of Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Some marketing material (in portuguese) about our main activities:
Video showing the new Needle Instrumented PIG (portuguese - 50MB). Note: requires a XVID codec.
This is a project for running multiple users on the same computer at the same time. Using a single CPU you can attach 2 keyboards, mice and monitors and have independent XFree86 user sessions. Don't even ask us, this is not possible under Windows systems.
Adding massive storage to a small embedded system based on a 200MHz SA1110 StrongArm processor. Wiring information and arm linux kernel patches available.
xine is one of the best media players for Linux systems, including full DVD and navigation support. It's also free software licensed under GPL. The page above is just an automatic build of xine from CVS with support for playing encrypted DVDs. Real development goes on sourceforge xine page.
A simple IR remote control receiver using just one eletronic component.
Home-made driver to use Promethean Activboard under linux.
Modified version of the sharp sdcard driver for Zaurus SL-5500, hacked to support 2GB sd cards.
This page is keeped mostly for archival purposes. At the time this project was started no journaling system was included at linux kernel and ReiserFS was just reaching the production stage level. To install a ReiserFS system, one had to first install a fresh ext2 and then manually copy all partitions to the new filesystem. The project consisted of a modified RedHat 7.0 distro supporting ReiserFS during installation. RedHat 8, 9 and Fedora now support both ext3 natively and ReiserFS with a few tricks.
Sorry, we are engineers not webdesigners... feel free to contribute a cool artwork though! :)
