Sr to Prin Level
consultant (6 mths)
Our Client is
looking for a Linux Engineer to port their existing systems software platform
(drivers, BSP’s, kernel, applications) from 2.4 to 2.6 Linux. This effort
has just started and and THEY have the kernel up and running (bash
shell).
Will upgrade the
existing build infrastructure for loadable kernel modules to comply with Linux
kbuild.
Port existing loadable kernel modules, applications, and libraries
written for version 2.4.20 to 2.6.17.
Apply third-party and proprietary
patches to the kernel source.
Assist with hardware and user mode Linux-based
simulator startup and initialization.
Ideally, we need
someone who has worked on this exact type of porting effort and has dealt with
many of the issues/challenges in this type of port.
Experience with UML
is required since they use User ModeLinux as their Emulation/Development tool.

John
