Why not? HamVoIP.org agreed to provide source code, and are violating the trust of the community by refusing to honor their commitment. They have no right to distribute app_rpt, asterisk or DAHDI. Good luck getting it working without source on a different platform too. The PiZero is so under powered it may not be able to do much. I've compiled the main codebase on one and was unable to get it to run well on the Pi0 Zero even with simple USB interface for anything other than a basic controller. Once the IAX connection came up, it would just die. This jives with what I saw on http://www.raspberry-asterisk.org/ where 2 SIP calls had the CPU at 80%. At that rate it's not if, but when it will drop packets. The idea of asterisk/Zapata telephony was to replace custom hardware with CPU as the cost of CPU dropped. Using a Pi Zero is kinda taking that to extremes in that the audio interface now costs more than the CPU. I realized it's a neat platform, but a normal Pi3 is $50 with card and power supply and such a small cost of the project it's not worth messing with an under-powered single core box. Please mess with it if you want, and certainly if you enjoy it, but the cost savings wasn't worth it for me. At $5 give it's worth giving it a try, maybe you'll be able to get it working as an embedded device. 73 -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net
