The Affordable BIOS Restoration Tool provides VHDL and C code to recover from failed BIOS upgrades using affordable CPLD's. EEPROM's and Flash chips can be restored with this flash programmer. Interfaces for DIP and tsop packages are being developed.

BSD SAM-BA is a free tool under ISC licence. Like the xp SAM Boot Assistant (SAM-BA.exe) this software provides a means of easily programming different AT91 devices. Communicating with the target device may be done through an RS232 or a USB link.

Sets your PC to sleep, hibernate, shutdown, or restart based on your time setting. Time may be set between 1 minute to 24 hours (in 1 minute increments). Countdown timer displays time remaining until the action occurs. This is a combined x64/x86 version. (Note: Tool is idle when time reads 0 hr:0 mins) Consider Windows 10 has changed the console "shutdown.exe" command to be active only for 30 minutes max.
