This looks like a nice small low power device, however it is and ARM processor and the limey linux distro is for the x86 platform. I wonder how hard it would be to compile the limey linux distro for ARM? Scott
Take a look at the PlugPBX project: http://www.plugpbx.org/ While it's focused on Asterisk/FreePBX, he did get it running on there succesfully. He found my install script that I use for Debian, added a few things, and was able to compile/install it just fine: http://www.plugpbx.org/?page_id=137 My install script for Asterisk 1.6.2 and FreePBX are located here: http://www.k1lnx.net/wiki/index.php/Asterisk_1.6_install_on_Debian_Lenny And for app_rpt: http://www.k1lnx.net/wiki/index.php/App_RPT/TIARA These are all written for Debian Lenny (my distro of choice) but I bet with a little tweaking Limey Linux would run great on this platform. Limey Linux would actually probably be perfect for something like this. If I didn't already have a satisfiable machine, I would definitely give it a try. I'm currently running on an Intel Atom processor and it works great. The box also serves double duty as a firewall.

Stephen, Appreciated your input on my IAX2 soft phone iaxAgent. It is now working fine. Good cell phone IAX2 soft phone application. I've spent considerable time working with the Sheevaplugs. We installed Winlink RMS Gateways, APRS Gateways, and an FPAC node server on these things. I did find some problems cross compiling to the ARMv5tel processor but was able to debug the sources and compiler options to finally produce a reliable install for FPAC, http://www.qsl.net/fpac/ . I used Debian Squeeze for the OS, cross-compiled this processor: root@KA7U-plug:/var/log# cat /proc/version Linux version 3.0.4 (root@linux-jsyn) (gcc version 4.5.2 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2011.03-41) ) #2 PREEMPT Sun Sep 18 23:09:01 MDT 2011 And boot the whole mess from an 8Gbyte SD Card. Works every time and the uptime is great, and a simple script backs up the OS and another restores it. So finding your old post below, I tried following the links but they don't all work. Do you still have relevant install scripts for Asterisk and the other parts? Did you or anyone you were working with manage to compile asterisk+app_rpt and get it all going on the Sheevaplug? The current Beagle Board with LOX provides a superior solution to the Sheevaplug, I'm sure, but I still have a couple of spare Sheevaplugs laying under the bench and it would be nice to put them into service. They run on 5vdc and it is easy to power them at a remote site. Besides, it might be possible to run an FPAC node from the same server box, although I've read that USB assignments for the sound card FOB might not be reliable through a multi port USB adapter. 73, Ron Morell KA7U
