Hi Bernie, So your running a recent Asterisk version, but not the AllStar release, on the RPi? Have you tried the AllStar code? Even though Asterisk is the host environment for AllStar, the apps/app_rpt.c, channels/chan_simpleusb.c and related code make comparing these different environments impossible. From a resource utilization standpoint, it's rather like comparing a freezer ice cube to the iceberg that sank the Titanic!! (Well, maybe not quite that extreme! HiHI) ...The AllStar code (with USB support) uses a LOT of CPU power, etc.! For all who are interested out there, the plain Asterisk distro (not AllStar) runs great on most of the little boards that I've tested. Anyway, please don't take this as criticism--I'm not meaning that at all. And, I'm very interested to hear what results users are having with any installation of Asterisk or AllStar. 73, David KB4FXC On Sat, 7 Feb 2015, B. McIntosh [Pace] wrote:
Just an update, although I'm not using the apt-rpt fork I'm sure there are folk interested.
For over one year I've used Asterisk very succesfully on two Raspberry Pis B+.
Moved to PI-2 yesterday. Having used dist-upgrade to get current release of Raspbian Wheezy (7). I'm running Asterisk 1.8.13.1.
VOIP slow and stuttering, but at times ok.
The distribution is billed as backward compatible with the Model Bs so I popped it back into the slower Model B. Works perfectly - every time.
Back to PI-2. Problems with stuttering and very slow voice messages. Seems to affect voice messages mostly but not exclusively. Two different PI-2s have been tried.
Thought it might be something to do with the SD card not being able to keep up.
Moved OS to a USB memory stick, allegedly many times faster than SD. Perhaps a marginal improvement, but difficult to say.
I have several other projects getting behind so I don't plan to do anything more - the production system remains on the older PI until reports from others start to appear. More than happy with BBB solution for apt-rpt anyway so no rush.
