It would be a real kick to get one of these to run Asterisk. :) http://www.gumstix.com/ Tim -- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >> Tim Sailer >< Coastal Internet, Inc. << >> Network and Systems Operations >< PO Box 726 << >> http://www.buoy.com >< Moriches, NY 11955 << >> tps@buoy.com >< (631) 399-2910 (888) 924-3728 << >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I am new to the list, and Asterisk itself, but I am currently planning to test a uCLibc build of Asterisk this weekend on a Gumstix. I have two of them sitting in my bag next to me here in my office. I am not currently sure how I will go about doing this. The setup of Asterisk on it shouldn't be a problem at all provided I load everything from the MMC card rather than a flash filesystem due to the 4mb limit, 3.5mb or so once you have u-Boot installed. The only possible issue I can see aside from Asterisk actually building properly is the USB networking. I haven't done much USB Net related work, so I am unsure what the latency will be like. I would assume the XScale processor itself will be fast enough on either the 200MHz or 400MHz versions of the card (I will test on one of each) for a single channel. I still haven't figured out why I want to do this aside from the coolness factor, but I will give it a go this weekend and let you know how things pan out. So far as the Gumstix themselves go, based on my experience with them so far, they are wonderful. I have been looking at some of the other plug on modules that Waysmall is selling for them, and some of them really raise some interesting possibilities. There is an AC97 module which might work really well with Asterisk, since it would give you an audio input and an audio output. Plug in a headset to the Gumstix and find some way to dial, and you have a little VoIP phone. External dial pad maybe? ~ C.

Here's a thought. If you could get the gumstix to have 4 FXS ports and one Ethernet interface, then you can sell an Asterisk voicemail/auto-attendant solution. You can already buy these with some proprietary hardware and software. This can be integrated with legacy PBXs in a minute. If Digium can pick up the glove, and make an embedded Asterisk Voicemail / Auto-attendant with a web page for configuration and email notifications for voice mail, then it'll make asterisk better known around the globe, and people will come asking for asterisk to do the whole PBX. Just my 2 cents.> -----Original Message----- > From: Kristian Kielhofner [mailto:kris@krisk.org] > Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2004 8:40 PM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] gumstix > > Michael Graves wrote: > > > On Wed, 22 Dec 2004 11:35:46 -0500, Tim Sailer wrote: > > > > > >>It would be a real kick to get one of these to run Asterisk. :) > >> > >>http://www.gumstix.com/ > >> > >>Tim > > > > > > They look cute, but not enough RAM for *.
