[PLUG-JOBS] Need someone to turn the lights on

[Tom Sharples]

Hi, I'm looking for a contract programmer to write a fairly simple driver (or something) under a 2.4.23 kernel (slack distro) to enable the GPIO-based LED's and hardware timers on the new pc-engines ALIX board. This is a replacement for the popular WRAP x86 embedded wireless boards that have now been discontinued. The old wrap board allowed LEDs to be turned on and off via simple 8-bit port commands, and it had a built-in processor-based hardware watchdog, but  the new ALIX requires 32-bit atomic reads/writes to its GPIO for these functions. Someone's already done this work under bsd:

and  a 2.6 kernel:

but we need it for 2.4.23.

If this is something you'd like to handle, please email or give me a call.

Thanks,
