Embedded Linux (Drivers and audio)

SHORT TERM PROJECT / CONSULTANCY We are in the middle of bringing up a new card where we use the IMX8 (DART-MX8M) This project has several elements where we have a lot experience, but also some areas that is new for us and that is not a good combination with strict deadlines. So, we wonder if there are some skilled embedded programmers out there that can help us finish the project. We need a person that has experience in Alsa, and audio handling in Linux. The main project where we struggle is to make the audio (I2S) signal flow from the Radio chip to the IMX8 and out (I2S) to the amplifier. We need help with the following: 1. Linux Alsa integration of the TAS5825M (codec) with the IMX8M soc by either developing an alsa card driver or using the built-in simple-audio-card driver. 2. Develop a Linux driver for the si4688 DAB/FM radio chip. This would ideally be a Linux mfd driver that provides a control interface to userspace and also provide an Alsa capture codec. And also integrate the codec driver with the IMX8M soc. Since this project will need use of skype (or other) for communication a normal good spoken and written English is necessary for this project.
