I'm pretty sure that there is an easy to get fixed point implementation of speex. I don't know if that will solve all of your issues, but it is a start.

Cheers, -- jra jra, He implied that he made code tweaks to his web based softphone (which is written in java) as a result of running it on the slug. I was trying to figure out exactly what he was talking about, and how he did it. Slug audio device? Which java virtual machine? How did the interface work? These were the kinds of questions that I had. He answered all of them off-list. So it seems I wasn't as far off as you seem to think. It actually had *nothing* to do with Asterisk running on the slug, so it seems that you might be even more confused than I am :). He confirmed off-list that the scenario he described did not involve running Asterisk on the slug. It involved running the softphone in a java vm on the slug, as a softphone with audio, etc. Check out the website. The shipped product appears to be %100 Java. That's pretty clear. As far as my misstatement, I think it was pretty clear too: the slug cannot support any browsers that support java *that support java* - this is key Which is completely true. links, lynx, etc. These are all browsers that run perfectly well on the slug. None of them support java (even if they did, what would be the point)? Does the slug support browsers - yes. Do those browsers support java - no. Although you claim to fully understand him, your post indicates just the opposite. Did you read the whole thread? P.S. - FYI, Asterisk does run on the slug. Quite well in fact.

RE: [asterisk-users] Embedded Asterisk
Has anybody out there, on non-FPU embedded platorms, made any good use of things like ilbc and Speex? The exisiting implementations of both run very poorly on a non-fpu cpu's, especialy if clock speed 400 Mhz I have run asterisk (and still do) on mips,ixp and powerpc (all without fpu's) and i think that without modifications the codecs are not so usable There are 3 options 1) Get a faster fp library - Been looking into the GoFast fp lib, no definate results yet 2) Convert codecs to fixed point - Although i know a G729 fixed point implementation exists haven't tested and i am not sure that a speex or ilbc implementation exists. 4) Get a cpu with fpu :) - There are mips and powerpc cpu's (i am talking the types used in embedded dev's) that have an fpu I will be also at Astricon and brinking with me a powerpc based embedded asterisk appliance which has support for zaptel also.

These are available, not dirt cheap, but I received box of them that were due to be recycled. I see them on Ebay for around $80-150. That's less than a Soekris Net4801 new in a case. They have the advantage of some built-in flash in an IDE DOM card, then 4 USB ports as well as traditional mouse, keyboard, VGA ports. Also, the CPUs which are in the 800 MHz - 1.2 GHz range handle G.729 codecs better than the Net4801 or WRAP boards.

I want to write a white paper about it but haven't started yet due to other priorities. A CF used in an IDE adapter is the way to go. The development environment is a bit tricky but here is a brief of what worked for me: - define the hardware to use; I used a VIA 10K M mother board, 256M RAM, TDM400, Sandisk CF (64 MEG), IDE-to-CF adapter here: http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/cPath/47/products_id/241 This one sits right into the IDE slot on the MB, with a closed case, no one can walk up and pull the card out and you don't have to deal with IDE cables to route. - hookup a temporary hard drive, partition it with at least 4 - 1 gig partitions, build the base system on part 1, I used Debian, Woody. - copy part 1 to part 2 (cp -ax), boot into part 2, download and compile asterisk, setup to taste and any other software needed (mysql, mpg123, whatever) - copy part 2 to part 3, boot into part 3, start stripping the OS down to bare minimum, if you screw up, no problem, re-copy part 2 to part 3 and start again - once you have the server at a minimum OS size and it still boots, runs and does what you need then figure out the size (df -h), mine was around 75Meg - boot back into part 1, create a loop file system of 85Meg in part 4, copy part 3 (the root file system) into the part 4 loop file system, gzip the part 4 loop file system into one compressed file something.gzip, mine was 23Meg - prepare the CF, syslinux the CF and put a syslinuz config file on the root directory and specify a 85Meg ram disk, copy the part 3 kernel file to the CF, this is what guided me: http://silent.gumph.org/content/4/1/011-linux-on-cf.html - configure the file system to mount a partition on the CF and symlink all writable files to the CF for saving, VM, SYSLOG, * config files, CDR, whatever you want to save as non-volatile. - disconnect temp hard drive and re-boot, syslinux will create a ram drive, un-compress the gzip file system into RAM, and run from there. Of course there are a hundred steps in between the ones I've out-lined and there are twice as many problems but the payoff is worth it. I have an * server that I can power down without corrupting the file system and it always comes back up the same configuration, in 30 seconds, pretty cool. If this is what you guys mean by embedded, then it's certainly achievable with off the shelf parts and a little time for trial and error. One of these days, soon, I'll document the entire journey and share on the WIKI.

I don't know if the ISOLINUX pakage supports a LILO kind of thing, but I guess it does. That should be in the MBR of your flash disk and you could probably boot it. I wrote the instructions by mind, so probably something is missing :) ISOLINUX is part of a family--SYSLINUX for booting from hard drives, ISOLINUX for booting from CDs, and PXELINUX for booting over the network. The configuration is nearly identical for all three. Strictly speaking, you don't really even need the rescue disk. It's surprisingly easy to build a complete Linux system from scratch using uclibc and busybox. Just build busybox statically linked to uclibc (amazingly enough, the last time I did that, the static uclibc busybox was smaller then the dynamically linked glibc busybox) and install it to a temp directory. Then create a couple extra directories (/dev, /tmp, /etc), populate /dev, create a short /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and you should have a bootable Linux image in under 1 MB. Add asterisk to that, and you'll be ready to go.

Tomorrow I'm going to do the samething for an Epia-MII 1,2GHz/512MB/512MB-CF. Another tip :P Don't compile on flash... just make a tree on your harddisk. And copy the required binaries and libs to a root tree and attach a kernel. Look at some different Filesystems too, depending on for needs Ext2/Minix/CramFS. Actually, you the Geode CPU mentioned below is a 5x86 (486 platform) at 233 MHz. If you take Pebble (http://www.nycwireless.net/pebble/), which is a downstripped Debian ( 64 MB) on a readonly ext2 filesystem, you should be grand. Installing asterisk + some extra stuff will probably require, that you have at least a 128MB or 256MB flash or so. There are actually quite some board around on that CPU, like Soekris, pcengines and i think also Mikrotik at prices from 120EUR and up. I'm running pebble on a pcengines board, just needed to customize the kernel a bit, haven't been testing asterisk on that yet, but i definatly will in the sooner future.
