[Sheflug] Assistance required with industrial HMI design - embedded Linux

[Robert Holland <bobholland@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm currently migrating some existing projects to Linux & could do with 
some help on the operator interface front ends of my industrial 
applications. I've got enough to do on the embedded hardware design and 
migrating the control software.

I'm looking for someone with a long term interest in doing this type of 
work, but you need to be able to hit the ground running with the 
required skills. This is probably not going to lead to long-term 
full-time work but there is certainly a lot to do over the next few 
months and then there will be a requirement for ongoing support for new 
and customised applications over the lifetime of the product.

The new target hardware will use a small colour VGA touchscreen. The 
existing code is designed for QVGA mono. The new display unit is 
currently working as a framebuffer device running under a recent Linux 
kernel (2.6.27).

The current code is all in C (cross-compiled using GCC for a MC68000 
target) but everything is quite low level with no OS or standard library 
support.

The current plan is to migrate the operator interface code to use GTK, 
but I'm still open to suggestions as the port status of some these 
libraries is uncertain.

I'm also interested in talking to anyone writing applications for mobile 
phones for a different project entirely.

Contact me offline if you are interested.

Bob
