Using a Mutable Instrument module is a fun way to code your own Eurorack ideas if you're like me and bad at the hardware/DIY part. Everything is open, even the bootloader, and there's a neat process where it converts the compiled program into an audio stream that the module then listens to (when turned on in recovery mode). And it's even easier to go back to stock firmware.
There's also the well-known-ish alternative "Parasite" firmwares by mqtthiqs which is fun to look through and really fun to play with in a module. [0, 1] I don't know if these are available in a software-only form like VCV.
Mutable also isn't the only manufacturer releasing open-source modules. 4ms has a few, the DLD [2] is a delay I've been playing with reprogramming lately (almost 3 minutes of memory! stereo!). Rebel Technology releases their stuff under GPL [3]. I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting. I wish Make Noise would open-source their digital stuff...
