(obsolete) Asterisk for OpenWRT

last updated: september 19, 2007

This page contains binaries and sources for running the Asterisk PBX software on OpenWRT devices.

This page has become obsolete since the majority of these patches were merged and improved in the official OpenWRT repositories since version 1.4.11. All requests and bug reports should now be propagated through tickets in the OpenWRT development process. People are strongly advised to use the official repositories for further Asterisk development an installations since there will be no new releases or developement through this site.

The original repositories for version 1.4.9 are still maintained because of some extra features that have not been merged yet, but will be in the near future.

(obsolete) Asterisk 1.4.9

For OpenWRT WhiteRussian 0.9 on mipsel/brcm (Broadcom and compatibles):
  src asterisk14 http://members.home.nl/hans.zandbelt/openwrt/whiterussian/packages/asterisk-1.4

For OpenWRT Kamikaze 7.06 on mipsel/brcm (Broadcom and compatibles):
  src asterisk14 http://members.home.nl/hans.zandbelt/openwrt/kamikaze/packages/asterisk-1.4

For OpenWRT Kamikaze 7.06 on mips/atheros (Fonera and compatibles):
  src asterisk14 http://members.home.nl/hans.zandbelt/openwrt/kamikaze/packages/asterisk-1.4/atheros

For OpenWRT Kamikaze 7.06 on x86:
  src asterisk14 http://members.home.nl/hans.zandbelt/openwrt/kamikaze/packages/asterisk-1.4/x86

NB1: The 1.4.x packages are named "asterisk14-*" to allow them to co-exist with the 1.2.x packages, *BUT* the 1.4 packages _do_ use the same installation directories so installing them next to 1.2 must be done with a different "-d" flag to "ipkg install".
NB2: For the Kamikaze releases based on kernel 2.6 the zaptel/ztdummy kernel module is not yet available thus app_meetme and IAX2 trunking are not yet usable on that platform.

Update: Asterisk core updated to version 1.4.9; added asterisk-addons 1.4.2 zaptel-libtonezone updated to version 1.4.4.
asterisk14-addons includes backported-from-trunk chan_mobile (svn 384)
asterisk14-app-fax package is included, including app_rxfax and app_txfax.
asterisk14-chan-gtalk is included, with stability fixes, providing GTalk support for Asterisk.
