Hello, Freebsd-stable. I installed 7.1-STABLE on my new Soekris net5501. Kernel config is in attach. This unit lock up in strange way every day. It is pingable, but no access to host on any network protocol (sshd, named, etc are not answering), and serial console (only one this unit has) DOESN'T ANSWER too! Only way to un-freeze it is cold reboot. I...

...ded and hoping to make a dent in my monthly electric bill by consolidating the two into a single box with efficient power supply, low power processor, and no spinning HD platters. Main question is whether anyone knows if the Digium TDM400P should be compatible with the 3.3V PCI slot in the Soekris Net5501-70 box? Soekris' description for the net5501-70 says, in part, it has support for "one or two low-power standard PCI board" I see on my Digium card that it requires a molex connector supplying voltage. The Net5501 has a small 4-pin molex header on the board, I wonder if a small to r...

...;re talking a total of two extensions (one FXS, one SIP/ethernet deskphone device) and two connections to the outside world (one FXO pseudo-PSTN, and SIP to the office), and a maximum of two concurrent telephone calls going through the system. What I'm considering hardware-wise is a Soekris net5501 paired with a Digium TDM400P equipped with 1xFXO and 1xFXS (might add a second FXS later down the road). I'm a pretty well-versed linux hacker, so I'm not too worried about being able to get the software side up and running. What I'm really looking for is advice and info from people t...

Hi, Unfortunately this approach isn't going to work. I've done some further research and it would appear that it is the underlying ugen device and not libusb that is failing to honor the timeout. https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-misc/2006/03/17/0000.html The person above worked around this by having the device opened in non blocking mode using the O_NONBLOCK flag but this required

Hi recently bought a soekris net5501 and a tdm410 to place in there. I am having some issues attaching 12V power to the card via the molex card - basically the box for the motherboard is too small. I have read up about a PWR2400b and it seems to use 2wire pin, I am guessing to connect to P8 just behind the molex connector on the tdm...

I used exactly the same setup on all 3 machines and I'm quite confused now. What can I be doing wrong? Many thanks, Jedrek

...k, I would consider setting up another system dedicated to monitoring the UPS, and setup NUT on Solaris to be a client to the other system. Linux on x86_64 is probably the best supported OS for NUT and a USB UPS, but others have had success with embedded ARM and MIPS Linux systems. I have a Soekris net5501 running FreeBSD monitoring the USB UPS in my home "data center" in the basement, and it has been very reliable: http://soekris.com/products/net5501.html (also available in a rack-mount form factor; I have no connection to Soekris other than using their equipment) -- Charles Lepple clepp...

Hello, Recently I have discovered a problem with serial console output when net-booting a Soekris net5501 board via pxe. When using pxelinux.0 from syslinux 4.04 package I get only 15 characters from the output, then the carriage returns back to the same line over and over again, making it impossible to read the output. What is more the booting process (trying configuration files with hardware...

Hi. I have a box (a net5501 with a Perle serial octal RS-232 card in it) that I want to use as a console server for a bunch of headless computers. I was wondering if there's a trivial app that I can run as the shell that ssh (or telnet) would run, example: #!/bin/bash port=$(echo "$SSH_CONNECT" | cut -d'...

...nd, it isn't like we have specimens of every box from every > manufacturer... I do understand :-) Once I work my way to getting a succseful boot with pxelinux.0 (thanks for pointing in the right direction!!), I'll bring the issue up with Soekris as well. (I'll also experiment with a net5501 instead of the 4501). Thanks again for your help! Thomas.

...ery week to test the performance of system. Now Miruna Asterisk System with Soekris 4801 Boards can support ~25 extensions in Asterisk. == Hardware requirement: Miruna Asterisk System require a Soekris Board, now only the Net4801, and a Compact Flash more or equal of 1 GB. Other Soekris Board ( ex. Net5501 ) will be released in few time. == Install Miruna Asterisk System on Compact Flash: After download of archive from Sourceforge you can put your .img file on compact flash with dd on Linux o Unix systems: dd if=/path/of/miruna-VxxRxx-soekXXX.img of=/path/of/CF Now you can put the Compact Flash on So...

I'm looking for some kind of appliance like box, maybe something like this:http://www.soekris.com/net5501.htm on which I could deploy iptables based firewall/openvpn/DNS and other local network services in a wide area network. I would probably install on a flash device. I would prefer something that was relatively easy to install on, or at least has been used with CentOS before, where I'm not nee...

Any comments on CentOS 5 on Intel Atom CPUs? I need to build a couple of inexpensive systems that will be used primarily as gateway/firewall systems with OpenVPN, and need recommendations in reliable hardware platforms. These will need two NICs. Bill -- INTERNET: bill at celestial.com Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC URL: http://www.celestial.com/ PO Box 820; 6641 E. Mercer Way Voice:

...are not mentioned in ANY config file on my computer, and addresses on my network interfaces IS NOT from these networks. Main problem is, that mount_nfs failed on startup on this router because bind is not ready due to these errors and all system goes to single-user mode :( Computer is Soekris net5501, with 6 network interfaces (vr0-vr3 on board, em0 and ath0 attached). Only vr0 and vr1 are used, but adding fake addresses to vr2 and vr3 doesn't help at all. Also, mpd5 creates two NG interfaces (ng0 and ng1) on startup to connect to two providers. But previous installation (on faster hard...

Dear all, I'm trying to boot a recent PXELINUX on a brand new Soekris net4501 (comBIOS 1.33). This combination appears to not work out of the box... I see much advice floating around from a few years ago, hinting that earlier versions of PXELINUX might have worked. However before resorting to archaeology I'd be interested in feedback from others who might have got through this. I

Hey all, I have a potential project which calls for a very small form-factor computer like this: http://www.marvell.com/products/embedded_processors/developer/kirkwood/sheevaplug.jsp However, I am needing an FXS port integrated into a small footprint computer. Nothing larger than a WiFi router or gateway device, but the smaller the better, and able to run Asterisk with at least a spare USB port

Hi. I'm having trouble figuring out why I'm not able to make many concurrent VoIP calls on my system. I'm not aiming for a huge number, because I have purposely bought a low powered system, but I would think that I could get more. Here are the details: I have a small-form-factor Asterisk server with an Intel Atom 230 CPU (1.6 GHz, 533 MHz FSB) and 512 MB DDR2 533. It is running Ubuntu

Hello, I'm trying to put together a low cost - low powers PBX appliance for several customers. I have purchased a couple of the soekris net4801 boards and have asterisk up and running on them fine but they just don't quite cut it in the processing power department. I've been able to get about 10 simultaneous SIP calls with simple ulaw (no encoding decoding). While this might be OK for

Hello, I''m facing a strange issue with network card PCI passthrough on my openwrt test domU. - With network PCI passthrough, DNS lookup failed for some domains (exemple, google.com) but not for other (free.fr my ISP, or my domain jbfavre.org). I can ping an IP address without any problem. - Starting domU as a "normal" (ie without PCI passthrough), no problem. As far as I can

Hi. I experimented a bit with collecting entropy from the time it takes for device_attach() to run (in CPU cycles). It seems that those times have enough variation that we can use it for entropy harvesting. It happens even before root is mounted, so pretty early. On the machine I'm testing it, which has minimal kernel plus NIC driver I see 75 device_attach() calls. I'm being very careful
