Looking for contractor for FPGA-based multiUART

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for someone that can develop an FPGA based multiUART with
32 UARTs for me.

My software will run on this board: h**p://www.andahammer.com/mini35-
sdk.

The mini2440 ARM board has 40 pin system expansion bus connector that
will connect to the multiuart PCB you develop.

Each UART in the multiUART will connect to a gasoline dispenser using
optoisolated 20mA, 30 mA, 45mA current loop. I will provide schematics
for the TTL-current loop conversion.

I was thinking the UARTs could be the 16750 from opencores.org. It's
supposed to be stable and it works with standard Linux drivers. h**p://
opencores.org/project,uart16750

Check out the schematics of a mini2440 expansion card that Eric
Brombaugh already developed.

How much are you thinking of paying ?

It might be easier and cheaper to use an XMOS device:

What baudrate do you need? The mention of optoisolated current loops suggests fairly low - 32 slow
UARTS on something like a low-end ARM should be pretty doable.
