[Freeswitch-users] embedded freeswitch compatable hardware

[Brian May]

Hello,

I asked this question on my local linux user group mailing list, and got the
recommendation to ask here.

Anyway, at the moment I am running Asterisk on an IP04 embedded system.
http://www.rowetel.com/ucasterisk/ip04.html

It works well most of the time, however there are some bugs that do, under
circumstances lead to less then desirable behaviour (such as on some occasions
which I don't fully understand sometimes the remote system fails to generate
any audio packets when there is no audio - almost like silence suppression was
supported by the remote system - and asterisk fails to generate any audio
packets in return; on another slower computer running the same SIP software and
on the same network everything works fine; as far as I can tell the software -
twinkle - doesn't even support silence suppression).

I suspect at least some - if not all - of the issues I have encountered may be
resolved with Freeswitch, however I don't really want to replace my small,
energy efficient, embedded system, with a large, power hungry computer system.
Overkill.

An added complication is I need at least 1 analogue port to connect to the
Australian based telephone line (2 ports exchange ports and 1 extension port
would be ideal but not essiential).

Unfortunately, I have been told that the IP04 hardware isn't compatable with
the requirements of Freeswitch. Such as not having a MMU. So there doesn't
appear to be much effort porting Freeswitch to IP04 as a result.

I do have a spare TDM400p card, although as it is full height, suspect this
isn't going to help.

Are there any other good alternatives?

Thanks.
