Re: [Other] Asterisk/openwrt on Seagate DockstarI have already tested that approach and found that it does not work. See here. Once I am comfortable with my install, I will probably move it to on-board flash.
Mazilo & usa2k, Thanks.
Jeffml,
For the
to work, the packages have to be compiled first. I am not sure if there is an existing repository of packages compiled for kirkwood platform. Mixing different svn revisions of Openwrt may also lead to inconsistencies or issues. Finally, as we are installing it on a usb flash drive, there is no difference in compiling packages in, or installing them after the fact. We don't have to worry about squashfs versus jffs utlization.
At least that's my perspective, mazilo may have other reasons beyond this.

Thank you for taking time to clarify the above and that's what I had in mind too. We all need to remember that the OpenWRT firmware I uploaded as shown on this post was compiled from OpenWRT SVN Development branch, i.e. not a released version, that may not be stable.
If one is concerned with a stability issue, then perhaps the released (Backfire) version provided by OpenWRT for a Marvell Kirkwood platform, i.e. a Seagate DockStar, etc., as seen here is a better option. AFAIK, the released (Backfire) version has all kernel drivers, i.e. USB, USB_storage, SCSI disk, etc., built as kernel modules. Since the new u-boot manager installed on the mtd3 partition (NAND space) of your Seagate DockStar device (after applying the PogoPlug SetBoot step-by-step instructions) has a support for an EXT2 filesystem (IIRC), perhaps the external USB partition may need be formatted with an EXT2 filesystem will work. Let's know what the outcome if you go with this route.

The first thing I did was update and pulled down packages (including asterisk) and they worked great (minimal testing). Freeswitch is also in there. I now understand why Mazilo decided to go his route. I might make a few minimalist builds (with patches) of the current stable version go from there.
Mazilo,
Were there specific reasons you chose the development branch verus the stable. I don't want to miss any kirkwood patches that are needed.

If your device runs on a Backfire version, you can use opkg to remotely install the packages you want (no need to first download and install). If you just execute opkg on a login shell, it will print out all switches/parameters that it supports.
Were there specific reasons you chose the development branch verus the stable. Honestly, I don't know how to tell you. Perhaps, this will explain better. Some early adopters who didn't mind paying a hefty of dollars prefer to camp overnights in a long-line sidewalk for a new Apple iPhone 4 when it was on a sale debut. I do the same thing through GPLed software to test what new additional features and/or enhancements (or even bugs) are out there.

Oops, forgot you were on Openwrt! I'm also following a thread on installing Debian on this unit. With Debian, shld hopefully be able to continue with the work done by PlugPbx (also on Debian) on this unit and have Asterisk/Freepbx running. This is a better route for me as I'm hoping to also get some of PIAF's stuffs installed once I get it up and running.
