Is there an interest in running FreeSWITCH on OpenWRT? I recently managed to compile and run a version for a MIPs based router, the Planex MZK-W04NU. This router has 32MB ram, 8MB flash, runs at 400MHz, draft N support (2.4GHZ), based on 2.6 kernels, a usb port and sells for about 60 bucks online. I used a 2GB USB flash drive for the FreeSWITCH directory and SWAP space.

I was planning to setup a wiki page on compiling and configuring.

regards,

Carlos

Until I figure out how much of a load it can handle for now it's just an experiment.

I was motivated by two factors:

- Kristin had ported FreeSWITCH to Astlinux, another uClib embedded environment. This sparked my interest in getting it to work on OpenWRT
- Asterisk has been running on OpenWRT for a while so I wanted to see how difficult it would be to bring in FreeSWITCH.

Sounds like a fun project. I wouldn't worry too much about the lack of local storage space for voicemail. You can easily mount remote filesystems to increase storage capacity. I've done so using openwrt for my own projects using shfs, nfs, and next I want to try s3fs.

s3fs would be ideal if this is a turnkey solution.  still need local storage (flash) for the sqlite databases, but that shouldn't be very hard.

Carlos,

I'm glad to see you've made some progress on your project.

Keep us updated!

Great news I'm interested in running FS on any of this type of
small hardware. Ideally, it should have a USB port so I can connect
Sangoma's U100 connector to handle one or two POTS lines.

Would the FS port you did handle this USB VoIP gateway?

Thanks.

This would be ideal. I'm not sure though if the wanpipe kernel driver has been ported to openwrt (or non-x86 hardware for that matter).

FYI, I'm slowly working on the wiki and have faced some obstacles as openwrt.org decided to upgrade their servers this past week and have been offline for a good part of that...
