I need a USB microprocessor *device* on which the Linux and Asterisk will run (even if very slowly), not just a storage drive from which to run it on the PC. MonteVista is a good distro, though there are other "minimal" embedded distros, of which I've already got one selected. The CDR usage of a single user's PC is just fine in performance and total lifetime read/writes (usually upwards of 100K) for the CDR data that needs to persist, as opposed to the device's RAM for executing the Asterisk. I'm looking for a device under $100 or $50 in OEM quantity, which is where just microdrives start. I want to run Asterisk itself, even if stripped down, for easy sync and single platform maintenance across all the Asterisk instances I've got, as well as guaranteed compatibility between data/network formats/protocols.
Matt, Sounds like an "interesting" application. Have you looked at something like the Gumstix netstix: http://www.gumstix.com/waysmalls.html I believe that they have a USB powered version available - that should be pretty close to what you are looking for. As far as the distro to run, there is the standard Gumstix buildroot (which includes a functional version of Asterisk), or AstLinux, which can be compiled to run on the Gumstix. Full disclosure - I maintain AstLinux. -- Kristian Kielhofner _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
