[Jobs] Looking for a Xenomani RT Linux Mentor / $50 an hour

[Rob]

Hey all,

I'm looking for someone to teach me how to develop against
Xenomani<http://xenomai.org>RT Linux or for that matter any open
source hard realtime linux solution
for ARM.

Specifically I am looking to develop a stepper motor driver that can
process commands from a non-realtime process via something along the lines
of a FIFO pipe or unix socket and also gain an understanding of realtime
application development in the process.

I want to learn by doing wherever possible.

I have no experience in realtime software.

I am however an experienced Ruby/Javascript developer and am also fluent in
Python and Java. I have worked as a lead developer on a number of projects
(3, I think?) and currently teach Ruby on Rails at Bitmaker Labs. I am also
a computer eng. dropout, so for what it's worth I have designed a couple
basic ALUs and CPUs in VHDL, written some simple RISC assembly, and have
some knowledge of how CPUs work.

My experience in C is limited to a couple attempts at modularizing and
de-C++-izing the reprap firmware and some trivial robotics arduino sketches
(which are come to think of it C++). I have no experience developing C
under linux or any OS for that matter (just bare metal) so I'm expecting us
to have to cover non-realtime material to get me up to speed before we can
get into rt hacking (I recognize that I'll have to learn to walk before I
can run on this one).

Preferably we would be able to meet some time 6:30pm or later at Bitmaker
Labs for one 2 to 4 hour session a week. We'd also need to map out a brief
lesson plan with goals in advance of what you think we could reasonably
cover each week. The only weeknight I can't do are tuesdays as I'm at the
Hacklab on those nights.

Looking forward to hearing from you / super-eager to start learning this
realtime stuff properly :)

Cheers,

Rob
