Yeah, have it running on several units. It's really quite simple now. - Goto System -> Packages - Scroll down to "Update Package List" and wait a few seconds for that puppy to refresh. - You now should have a list of "installed" packages followed by a very long list of "available" packages. - Find the asterisk version you want in the list and install it. - The "asterisk" package is just that, asterisk only. You will need "asterisk-sounds" for basic voicemail/ivr functions and you will also need the asterisk-voicemail package. Obviously either pick the "14" or the "16" tree as appropriate. -dbc.> Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2009 12:12:35 +0200 > From: abdelkader <abdelkader2006 at gmail.com> > Subject: [asterisk-users] Asterisk on OpenWRT > > Did anyone succeeded in installing Asterisk on OpenWRT system. > > pls help.
I have installed them on a Linksys WRT54GL or WRT54GS v4/v3/v2/v1.1 devices. My mother-in-law's runs fine and she doesn't notice the difference. I know that is very subjective but to be honest I never looked at it for more than home-use/1 line applications. Can't say I've had a problem that caused me to look at its load level & transcoding. I can tell you she has been on the phone and received VM at the same time so there are two concurrent sessions. It means she keeps her number even though she moved to a retirement home that is out-of-area-code so she's more than happy. Plus calling between us is traditional 10-digit dialing although it is a SIP trunk - not that she (or my family) notice any difference. -dbc.>From: Jeff LaCoursiere <jeff at jeff.net> >Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk on OpenWRT > >What router did you install it on?

OpenWRT does make a 2.4 kernel version _and_ a 2.6 kernel version. Use the 2.4 and the radios work fine.>2) I suppose this should have been clear to me from the start, but without >an external (or hacked internal) storage of some kind, running asterisk onMake sure you have the right version number within the Linksys model. They changed drastically the RAM/Flash in the units (downward) as the production ran on. There are some charts online to go by. But the skinny is use a WRT54GS v4 or lower. V1.1 & 2 were the "good" ones with double the RAM.>3) OpenWRT seems to be less stable and not as mature as dd-wrt, which II guess this is someone subjective and OpenWRT is somewhat in flux with 2 products under the same brand right now. White Russian was the previous release which is still available. Used predominantly NVRAM configs and had a smaller audience of platforms that it would support. It did however have a great GUI with lots of features. Kamikaze is the "new" version which has moved to more traditional config files and has an objective to be more platform agnostic. As a long-time White Russian user I admit the GUI has a long way to go before it can be considered a replacement for the White Russian version. I myself have never encountered stability problems with either version. Not sure how much DD-WRT has improved. A few years back OpenWRT was the clear winner (in my mind - no flames please) and I haven't re-evaluated the competition lately. -dbc.
