The issue you are going to have is that the IP0x are based on the blackfin processor which as far as I'm aware FreeSWITCH doesn't compile on yet. Last I heard there's an issue with APR. They are fantastic little boxes though. hads -- http://nicegear.co.nz New Zealand's Open Source Hardware Supplier

Thank you.

I don't know any free telephony project which will build and run on an IP01, except the ones which have specifically been adapted for the Blackfin. If you look at www.rowetel.com or www.astfin.org you will find versions of Asterisk which have been adapted for the IP01. Nobody has yet adapted Freeswitch for the Blackfin, and they probably won't. The Blackfin lacks an MMU and cannot run Linux - it runs uCLinux, which is a cut down Linux for machines of this type. It is quite troublesome to get memory management to behave sanely on a machine without an MMU. The Asterisk adaptions for the Blackfin have problems with this too, but if you don't let the memory become too fragmented they work OK. The lack of floating point hardware in the Blackfin, and a number of other embedded processors, can also cause performance issues. The core functions of Freeswitch work reasonably well with emulated floating point, but some things, like the FAX engine, are really too slow to be very practical until more of the code is adapted to provide a fixed point version.
