rusEfi is one of the open source engine control units, we have declared it "release 1.0" about a month ago after one of the early adopters got home from a 1000+ mile road trip. Earlier in 2016 this ECU has finished two Lemons races. So it kind of works
All the required basics are there- speed density fuel, table-based sequential ignition, SD card logging etc.
What makes this ECU different from other open source platforms is that it uses a relatively modern ARM chip, that allows programming in a readable, relatively high-level manner. For users we are trying to provide ease of use and troubleshooting - there is an ECU simulator where you can play with tuning software without any ECU hardware, where is a UI application which allows to query internal state of the ECU etc etc etc.
Oh, and today http://forums.turbobricks.com/member.php?u=59656 has started first Volvo on this ECU: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJFdp2kSeYM
This is open source firmware and open source hardware - if you want to go hard code you can make your own board, if you want to just solder your own board you can order it from any PCB fab shop, or you can buy a parts kit. Sometimes fully assembled boards are also available - that's just a hobby project after all so no warehouse with a hundred of these waiting.
