Hey guys! I'm not sure if this qualifies as a commercial post, so I didn't flag it so.
We have some pretty interesting work to be done on the ARM platform. If you've heard of the BeagleBoard, then this is pretty much the same stuff. We are creating a very low end computing device using an ARM SoC. In fact we're making a series of these devices, with Silicon from TI and lesser known Taiwanese firms. The target for the equipment is mostly rural primary education. Right now we're using commercial boards, but as the project gathers steam, we'll have open source hardware. For now, the software part will be as open as possible (we're having to deal with binary blobs from the Silicon vendors). To fund the project, we'll be using these boards in thin clients, digital signage, and other projects where we currently use x86 Mini-ITX boards with VIA or Atom processors. We're looking for folks with cross platform development experience. If you've dealt with a few of the following things, this work is up your street: 1. Uboot 2. Remote boot 3. Kernel development for non-x86 targets (even cross compilation and booting up will suffice) 4. Firmware development on Linux 5. GTK+ 6. Building root file systems for ARM targets If you've worked with the BeagleBoard or Gumstix, you already have the right skills. What we will give you: 1. A shiny new ARM SoC board that has Uboot and a kernel going on it already. 2. Money for your expenses. 3. We do this work commercially, so we have a lot of experience. You'll get to learn a lot if you're a relative newbie. 4. If you are a great performer, we could remunerate. We will remunerate if you work on our commercial projects. If you're keen on building appropriate computing devices for India, this is your opportunity. This is not an experiment or hobby project. We will build entire devices and systems around the technology, and encourage a bunch of vendors in India to manufacture and sell this equipment. We already have the vendors and the buyers listening - all we need is devices that work ;-) If you're interested, drop me an email at saurabh at thinvent dot in. Please do forward this email to the IITD-LUG list, and any other lists of relevance.
