This diagram is all we have AFAIK:

OpenZAP ( which is being renamed to FreeTDM as we speak) provides
abstraction to both signaling and board I/O APIs. In short, you have
therefore 2 type of modules, signaling and I/O modules.

I/O modules are the low level modules that use the driver-specific API to
talk to the board, either Sangoma, PIKA or Zaptel-based boards. Therefore,
the use can execute I/O commands using openzap API and does not have to care
about which type of board is talking to. For example, ozmod_analog does
this: zap_channel_command(zchan, ZAP_COMMAND_GENERATE_RING_ON), the openzap
core will then check which type of I/O module is associated to the channel
(wanpipe, zt, pika etc) and ask the IO module to execute the command using
the specific API for the board.

The signaling module is supposed to abstract the telephony signaling (PRI,
R2, FXO/FXS, SS7 etc). So, if a user wants to place a call, regardless of
the signaling, it will only issue zap_channel_open() and then
zap_channel_outgoing_call() which will take care of checking which signaling
module is associated to the span where that channel belongs and ask the
signaling module to place the call.

There are some I/O features that may not be available in some drivers (like
flash in wanpipe) and are therefore emulated by the software layer of the
I/O wanpipe module.
