Success means one enclosed prototype delivers three independent functions simultaneously: HDMI video capture with low-latency external-display behavior, plus standard USB HID keyboard and mouse channels that can be enabled/disabled via physical switches and recover cleanly after hot-unplug. The receiver must access video, keyboard, and mouse together while preserving dedicated source ports (HDMI in, separate USB for keyboard and mouse). I’ll select the final receiving architecture (single high-speed USB vs USB/Ethernet mix) based on latency, reliability, complexity, and BOM cost. I’m Naïm Ollivier, Embedded Systems Architect (STM32/C/C++, FreeRTOS). I will design the capture interface, HID descriptors, and switching logic in firmware, then implement schematics/PCBs in Altium or KiCad with EMI-conscious layout, proper USB power handling, and robust reconnection state machines. Deliverables: working prototype, firmware + application source, schematics, PCB files, BOM, and setup docs.

Hey there, I am a US based Freelancer, I just finished reading the job description and I see you are looking for someone experienced in Firmware Development, Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing. This is something I can do. I have experience designing integrated embedded hardware where video capture, USB HID devices, and reliable control logic must work together in one enclosure. I would approach this by defining the HDMI capture path, separate keyboard and mouse USB interfaces, and the control firmware so each function can enable or disable independently without affecting the others. I will solve this by planning the hardware architecture, selecting the right interface strategy for low latency and stability, then building the firmware, schematics, PCB layout, BOM, and test plan needed for long runtime validation. I would also make sure reconnect recovery, status indicators, and safe disconnect behavior are built into the design from the start. To start, I need your target resolution/frame rate, expected USB behavior, enclosure constraints, and whether you want the receiving laptop to use one combined link or separate links. Drop me a message before placing an order price can be discussed after discussion.- Hey there, I am a US based Freelancer, I just finished reading the job description and I see you are looking for someone experienced in Firmware Development, Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing.
