Hi,

I've put packages for Asterisk versions 1.4.1 and 1.2.16 in the package repositories listed on the following page:

  http://zandbelt.dyndns.org/asterisk.html

These have been compiled with the SDK for WhiteRussian 0.9.
NB: the 1.4.1 packages include chan_cellphone and the asterisk web GUI stuff.

Hans.

Hi Hans,

Thks for porting and posting 1.2.16.  Would you mind posting the svn Make & patch files to dev.openwrt.org as well? I need to make some customization to sip.c for asterisk to work w/ my voip provider.

Thanks again,
Myles.

Attached to the original 1.2.14 patch enhancement ticket 1108 (https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/1108):

   https://dev.openwrt.org/attachment/tick … 2.16.patch

NB: I believe I temporarily renamed a file called "db.h" in the SDK include directories because it clashes with a file with the same name in the asterisk distribution; of course I should patch Asterisk for this but that is not trivial in this case. I don't remember whether this goes for 1.2.16, 1.4.1 or both... However, you are warned now ;-)

Regards,

Hans.

Thanks Hans.

I am now testing the 1.4.1. Its working good with my initial testing.

I don't see asterisk-app-meetme in it?

Can yo please find some time and package asterisk-app-meetme for 1.4.1.

Thanks

It is in my asterisk-1.4 repository now.

Changes:
  - added app_meetme plus dependencies:
      kmod-usb-uhci-iv
      kmod-zaptel (1.4.0)
      zaptel-libtonezone (1.4.0)
  - added res_crypto.so
  - compiled using LOW_MEMORY which indeed is better for OpenWRT platforms
  - bumped release number to 2

Indeed MeetMe conferencing seems to give a much better quality in 1.4. than in 1.2 :-)

FYI: I have switched my operational Asterisk installation to 1.4.1 and I'm quite happy with it.
Now I'm thinking of dropping OpenWRT support for Asterisk 1.2.x since it seems to be obsolete now. This would make Asterisk package maintenance easier.

Any objections against that (i.e. features in 1.2.x that are used but not available/usable in 1.4.x) ?

Hans.

THANK YOU  Hans

The 1.4.x build is working fine for me.  Thanks.

Hello,

1.4.x build is working fine. The only issue is that I'm unable to insmod ztdummy, something is missing in uhci module. I tried to insmod usb-uhci module, but I get "device not found" error.
Any ideas?

A wild guess: you're not running it on a router that has a compliant USB port/controller ... ?

Hans.

I'm running it on Asus WL-500g Premium. I thought that this one is compliant...

I'm not sure; I run on Asus WL-500GX myself...
Anyone else here with experience on Premium?

Hans.

I'm using USB stick with Asus 500g Premium and it works fine. It can even boot from USB. I'm using uhci.o module.

Yep; but the point is that the usb-uhci module is required, ie. the one that comes in the usb-uhci-iv package. The ztdummy timer stuff relies on USB timing stuff that is only in usb-uhci, not in uhci...

Hans.

Thanks very much zandbelt for your great work to port asterisk 1.4 to openwrt!!!
I have install it on my Asus wl500g Premium without problem!! I have to ask you two question:
The first is the minor problem with chan_cellphone patch 13a that seems have very big problem with audio, as you can see from http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=8919 the latest patch is 14 and revert to patch 13 and also is for asterisk 1.4.1 in your next port you can it?
The second is related to howto port/compile/use openwrt SDK i have something on the web but i dont understand so much... I want make for example my own asterisk port.
Many thanks

There's a new version of chan-cellphone in the repository; its release number is 3.
With this patch version 14 I am able to call out over my Nokia E60 cellphone, but the sound is still quite bad (lagging behind seconds).

Look for posts on buildroot-ng (especially from user forum2006).

Hans.

Thanks so much!!! I will try to compile my self :-)

After installing 1.4 and the gui, when I try to log into the gui to run the wizard, the page keeps refreshing over and over.  When it finally comes up, I'm able to click next to step 2.  When I click next on step 2, the page starts refreshing again and then takes me back to Step 1.

Check that app_system is allowed to be loaded in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf:

  ; noload => app_system.so ; Generic System() application

Hans.

That fixed it, thanks!

Hi zandbelt i now try to compile my self asterisk 1.4.1 using your patch found on https://dev.openwrt.org/attachment/tick … .4.0.patch but is not in sync with your latest asterisk build (i supposed :-)) can post the new one?
To compile i follow this step (i found on this forum):
1. svn co https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/whiterussian/
      (accept the certificate temporarily (t))
   2. patch -p0 < openwrt-packages-asterisk-1.4.0.patch
   3. cd whiterussian/openwrt
   4. make menuconfig
      select asterisk in Networking section and everything except chan-h323 and asterisk-sqlite
   5. make

Many thanks

The description you found is outdated.
Since reading (and ignoring) the number of queries about building Asterisk from source takes more time now than writing a description (sigh), I did the latter (for 1.4.1 only):

Happy building ;-),

Hans.

Wowwww..Many thanks fantastik!!!! I will try to buil as soon as possible :-)

Hi all,

after so much of flashing, installing, configuring, etc, I finally arrived to to a point where my Asus WL-500Gp (X-WRT WhiteRusian 0.9) is:

-Booting from an USB HDD
-SWAP on HDD
-Samba file server
-Asterisk 1.4.1 working with an Linksys PAP2T, some IAX2 softphones and a VOIP service provider.

Getting asterisk to work was a real pain (Incoming/Outgoing calls, local extensions, voicemail, etc)

But when I was almost reaching a "perfect" system, then I found that I don't have fax capabilities under asterisk (send, get, auto detect fax),
because app_faxdetect, app_rxfax, app_txfax, etc, are missing (ok, I know openpbx has those apps but I'm having problems getting it to work).

Is there any possibility to get fax working with asterisk for OpenWRT?
If libspandsp is already ported to OpenWRT (openpbx), is it possible to build the missing apps for asterisk?

I really would appreciate any advice on how to get this working.

Thanks

Leo.

Hey Hans!

I just installed the 1.4.1 package and everything seems to be running smooth on my Asus WL500D.

The only thing that gave me a minor problem was the fact that /etc/default/asterisk sets a -cvvvv and thus launches a console from the init.d script. Nice for manual starting and debugging but it crashed my router when auto started on bootup. (unplugging the usbstick got me back in)

Groeten!

SqyD

I've updated the asterisk-1.4 repository with the asterisk14-app-fax package, containing app_txfax and app_rxfax.
(the repository is at http://members.home.nl/hans.zandbelt/op … erisk-1.4)
This package depends on libspandsp, libtiff and libjpeg, also in the repository. NB: I had to stub some functionality for missing math functions in uclibc and I don't know how that affects the fax apps.
Maybe you could try these and see how far you get?

Hans.
