Is it possible to install a x100p analog card on a Openwrt x86 to use with Asterisk

Can someone help me?

Thank you

I want to use a x100p pci card with asterisk on my OpenWRT x86.
So i have compiled and installed asterisk and zaptel Zaptel module was correctly loaded but it does not create correct devices in /dev

It creates:
/dev/zapchannel
/dev/zapctl
/dev/zappseudo

not
/dev/zap/channel
/dev/zap/ctl
/dev/zap/pseudo

I have also tried to compile dahdi (dahdi replace zaptel in new asterisk version) but the result was similar.
It creates:
/dev/dahdi!channel
/dev/dahdi!ctl
/dev/dahdi!pseudo

not
/dev/dahdi/channel
/dev/dahdi/ctl
/dev/dahdi/pseudo

If someone want to help/try i have attached the makefile for dahdi in this ticket

I suppose you have to patch the sources to use the device nodes you expect to see. I bet other distros patched them too.

Yes, i agree, but can you help me?

I found this

What do you think about?

So they use udev to assign names to the device files but openwrt has no udev, thus they are created with their canonical name. I suppose you can create a hotplug2 rule to fixup the name.

Can you post me an example?

Thank you

Can this be usefull?

See at line 188

I also want add dahdi into OpenWRT, but I cann't even compile success from your file from that ticket. Could you please give me a guidence? Thanks.

what file do you want to compile?

It works

I have compiled asterisk 1.4.20 with zaptel to run a x100p

You have to install:

zaptel14-libtonezone
zaptel14-util
asterisk 1.4.20

You can download them from here (compiled and tested for Atom cpu):

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4ZY9CMVV

Edit /etc/init.d/asterisk

adding command "ztcfg" to set the x100p before starting asterisk

like this...

start() {
    ztcfg
    [ -f $DEFAULT ] && . $DEFAULT
    [ -d $DEST/var/run ] || mkdir -p $DEST/var/run
...

You have to add these lines to /etc/hotplug2.rules

DEVICENAME ~~ (zappseudo) {
        nothrottle
        makedev /dev/zap/pseudo 0644
        next
}

DEVICENAME ~~ (zapctl) {
        nothrottle
        makedev /dev/zap/ctl 0644
        next
}

DEVICENAME ~~ (zapchannel) {
        nothrottle
        makedev /dev/zap/channel 0644
        next
}

DEVICENAME ~~ (zap1) {
        nothrottle
        makedev /dev/zap/1 0644
        next
}

DEVICENAME ~~ (zaptimer) {
        nothrottle
        makedev /dev/zap/timer 0644
        next
}

Reboot and then you have to configure asterisk...
