[Asterisk-Dev] Embedded Asterisk

Hi Andy,
I won't argue with your point of view. That one you're of course completely
entitled to have :) I will however try to elaborate a little to see if I
can change it.
Currently this isn't really a commercial venture (in my view). It was
spawned off from a many year interest in playing with embedded Linux. I've
been playing rather a lot with that out of pure fun and interest, and while
I have done a few commercial projects based on some of this work, it hasn't
really been the driving factor. Same with embedding Asterisk. I don't do
this for a company - neither do I have any investors putting money into
this. I started playing with it because 1. It was fun an 2. I could see a
commercial interrest for the resulting product (a solid-state hybrid
soft-switch in non-marketing terms).
Unfortunately turning this into any kind of "product" (commercial or open
source) require some kind of funding since there is quite a large hardware
cost (different phones/gateways and even boxes for the actual embedding), so
as long as it is not commercial I can't spend as much time on it as I would
like. Currently I must admit I am toying with different ideas on how to
turn it into a full-time project. One could of course be some injection of
VC, but that's not very likely these days. A more interesting approach I am
taking currently is working on a couple of projects for service providers
here in Malaysia. Now these guys would LOVE a box like this they could put
at their customer premisis (sme's). You know - give them an internet
connection and bundle voip AND a PBX into this package (and while we're at
it - make it a firewall too since the box already have that based on
previous projects). Anyway - I will know more about this approach later
this week.
So - to sum up. Currently I don't really mind sharing what I've done so
far. Nothing is secret about it and I do respect the fact that it's based
on Open Source. It is however not nearly clean enough to be generally
published. What I've got so far is a bunch of makefiles. These makefiles
will pull off the source for individual packages from the Internet and
compile everything into a single image - directly from source (or local
cache). This is losely based on gar (see http://www.lnx-bbc.org) which in
turn is heavily inspired by BSD's ports (and gentoo uses somewhat the same
procedure). Right now it is however pretty messy and it still depends on a
shitload of things in the build-environment (Debian Testing).
Speaking of hardware - currently I am using an Allwell STB-1030N - which is
a 233MHz (easily tuned to 266MHz) with 16 MB of flash (plenty!!!) and 64 MB
of memory (sofar PLENTY too) and a HiSax ISDN card for testing. That box
runs Asterisk just fine (since it's not really disturbed by anything else)
as long as there's not too much codec translation involved. Codec
translation kills the performance. This box is quite old now and I reckon a
production system would use their 800 MHz boxes instead but right now I
can't be bothered (read: not prepare to spend the money) getting one of
those.
That's all I can think of right now. The conclusion I guess is that in my
eyes this isn't really a commercial project - even though personally I
wouldn't mind if it became one (of course using the Digium PCI cards in this
box for interfacing telephony technologies). I am not really protective of
anything I've done and I don't mind sharing ideas and even work with others
with a similar interest.
Oh by the way - you asked about boot time - hang on - measuring - ok here's
the numbers
From off to asterisk ready all in all : 65 seconds
From off to Linux load (BIOS POST) : 15 seconds
The rest is spend on first creating the root file system in RAM (would be
faster to run off the flash - but my view is that RAM is cheaper than flash
so why bother), configuring the network (fast), starting dhcpd, sshd,
mini_httpd (with SSL encryption) and asterisk. So - I guess 50 seconds
currently (I refuse to take responsibility for slow post in allwell boxes -
they spend time displaying their logo). I think I could shape that down to
around 35 or so by starting all the stuff in the background (currently I
wait for each process to start). Some more numbers before you ask :)
~ # df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/shm 47800 12324 35476 26% /
/dev/flashdevice 15934 6342 9592 40% /mnt/flash
As you can see I actually "unpack" the prepared root filesystem on a
ramdisk. It would be more memory and time efficient to put a live cramfs
and mount that directly - but it's so messy to create links to make part of
it read/write - AND it complicates flashing new updates HUGELY. That and
the fact that memory is cheap but flash expensive lead me to do it this way
instead. The /dev/flashdevice is a symbolic link created in initrd that
links the real flash device so that I won't have to bother in the root
filesystem (currently it's /dev/nftl/disc0/part1 if that has any interest).
The flash itself is a DiscOnChip Millennium 16 MB device. The box boot
directly from this device using syslinux (or could be lilo if you prefer to
have it ext2 formattet - there are however a bunch of arguments against that
so currently I use FAT).

Ooops - forgot I put an extra 32 MB into the box after I got it from
Allwell.

This clearly shows that the single most expensive thing I do in this box is
insisting on encryption. That was an early design parameter - absolutely NO
unencrypted passwords in and out of this box - so HTTPS and SSH are the only
options. But those are expensive memory and library wise (the entire C
library is around 300 kB and the openssl library is around 800 kB). I guess
this could be optimized by limiting the encryption methods included in the
library - but so far I haven't spend time optimizing that part.
What else did you ask - oh yes - logs. Well - Asterisk unfortunately can't
use syslog, so yes - the asterisk logs goes missing currently. The syslog
can use the network to log to another server. Alternatively the log dir
could be mounted from another server - but that's messy. If putting this
into production ever I would probably go through Asterisk and make it syslog
aware. Voicemail and CDR's could use SQL. Another thing I would definietly
include if this was to become a "product" would be an asterisk RADIUS module
that understood the cisco prepaid VSA's.
So - let's hear if I managed to "adjust" your view? :) And by the way -
wish me luck :) I'll be demonstrating this box and a couple of SNOM phones
to one of the hottest new service provider startup's in South-East Asia
tomorrow (which explains why I just sacrifised my weekend getting this
running) :)

Lars...
