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.

No.

  Is there any limitation in Vxworks which should be disabled or remove in

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.
