Asterisk on Openmoko

[Robert Michel]

Salve Kannaiyan!

I regret having written that I think asterisk will be able
to run on the Neo1973: I thougt letting it run "just for fun",
for getting creative ideas for development and to make the Neo1973
populare at asterisk people (hope to get some input from them).

But not for the mass market and not for a battery based use.

You are right, you`ll very likly have to wait for a device with enough
*electrical* power. IMHO it wouldn`t worth to try to optimize asterisk
for low battery use - maybe only for some people to let asterisk
run without being battery powered as portable PBX with included
PBX....

Beside that, designing OpenMoko to play very well together with an 
asterisk server (some where else, but not on the Neo) would be 
of course interesting.

So in case that I raised hope that you could use asterisk on the 
neo with one battery charge for several hours/days...
sorry. 

(Watch top while running asterisk doing nothing else then waiting
for calls)
