Re: [Equipment] Any way to make this device a VoIP client? Does it matter that its not an intel chipset? That seems to be of concern to some other people. I dont want to drop $80 on it, then compile and install Asterisk, just to have it not work! |

I used to run OpenWRT on some of my old Linksys routers (when as far as I know that was all it did!), however that was a few years back. Are you saying if I load OpenWRT on this device that will enable me to run Asterisk on it?

As Meister_SD has already pointed out, you don't need to have the device to run an OpenWRT firmware to run asterisk. The reason I recommend asterisk because it has been ported to OpenWRT and can be compiled into the firmware. I have asterisk-1.6.0.1 compile into an OpenWRT firmware and flashed to my FON2100 WiFi router. This makes it easier for me to upgrade. If you want to build/compile asterisk for this device, you will first need to get is firmware source + its SDK package + asterisk source, then try to port and compile asterisk using the SDK.

Ok I think I understand. So you are saying that assuming this device can run OpenWRT (which it looks like it can), I can then flash it with a version of OpenWRT that includes Asterisk in the firmware? That being the case, do you know where I can find a pre-compiled version (OpenWRT with Asterisk) or is it something I need to do myself?

1 edit | said by wifi4milez:So you are saying that assuming this device can run OpenWRT (which it looks like it can), I can then flash it with a version of OpenWRT that includes Asterisk in the firmware? Yes and only if you or have someone to compile the asterisk to include in the firmware like the way I do for my FON2100 unit. When you compile your own OpenWRT SVN source, you can specify which package(s) to include into the firmware to use. Alternately, you can also specify which package(s) to build and use its binary package to install on your device.
That being the case, do you know where I can find a pre-compiled version (OpenWRT with Asterisk) or is it something I need to do myself? I believe you have to do this by yourself. AFAIK, besides the source codes, OpenWRT only releases some binary firmwares for specific platforms with separate binary packages.
Of course, if anyone is willing to donate a unit of this device to me, I will be more than happy to help working on the project.
EDIT: Just wanted to let you know that the latest OpenWRT 8.09 does not have a support for a Marvell chipset as shown here.
