[asterisk-dev] Help needed to run server code on Vxworks

[Jonathan k. Creasy]

I agree with everything Mike has said. We looked into doing this a while ago and found all of these things to be true.

Folks,

     How much efforts are needed to make Asterisk code to run on Vxworks? 


A lot, depending on how you define "asterisk".  (there are theoretically a boatload of external modules/libs you can either require or not). For just the core switching functionality you will run into issues with threading/fork/the (lack of) filesystem in vxworks, just for starters. 


If you are looking at vxworks on an embedded cpu, take a look at either uclinux or linux on that same platform instead. A lot less effort and risk would be required.

  Is there any document in the distribution which describes the steps to follow to run on Vxworks.


No.

 

  Is there any limitation in Vxworks which should be disabled or remove in Asterisk server code.


Yes.

 

This will help me a lot in estimating the time and the efforts.


Well. At one level it pleases me to hear that asterisk has enough penetration into embedded now that people are thinking about cost-reducing it to the vxworks extreme.  At another level - unless you have a boatload of time and money I'd suggest trying to using linux on the same board. 

 

Thanks,

Murali
