I did several ports of asterisk to the ixp425 and related series of
processors, and also a few arms. But basically, if you need Echo cancelation
(analog ports) don't do it, there no point. If you just want to route sip
traffic and transcode a little , the ixp425 was a dandy processor. I got up
to 20 good quality calls in 32MB ram with it.

The recent blackfin work by david rowe, digium, and others has been much
more encouraging on the DSP/Echocan front. David Rowe has got working
hardware and software on the Blackfin stamp boards:
