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. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
