It would be nice to see a PIAF build for the RPi though... Any chance of that? There's a lot of peeps out there that would like to do something like this that are terrified of manual building!
I think that's pretty much the point of Raspberry Pi, Cozzer!
And like it was said before in a lot of places... the fact that you think you can make it work DOES NOT MEAN that the dev team should pour energy that way for a handful of users who want to play with it this way. Nobody prevents you from doing whatever you want but they have said multiple times that those platform are not a good idea in general for the majority of the community so I think it is safe to say that there is no chance of that to quote you
They recommended, buy, test and discuss small footprint platform all over the forum but their opinion is that if you want to play with very specific platform YOU should do it.
Feel free to experiment as you wish!
Very true Hyksos. We have enough trouble keeping up with the problems caused by users trying to install PIAF on Radio Shack TRS80's using a cassette tape without adding even more headaches. While the goals are laudable they are not what the core team wants to do. People are welcome to do as they please. However if a project such as the pi gets off the ground we would be unable to support it as our *FREE* resources are stretched pretty thin these days. I can just see some CFO replacing their cisco phone system with a pi and saving the company 100's of thousands per year...... always good for a laugh. We have had a number of these cheap and small systems come up in the past along with CF cards as hard drives all were tested in the PIAF lab all failed or needed so much support just to keep it running that they were deemed not feasible. Also several of the systems would have required complete rewrites of everything as these used NON amd/intel CPU's. We try to aim for reliable product that works for most people using reasonably priced (NOT CHEAP) hardware to achieve good performance.
Unfortunately these types of discussions take on the tone of religious fervor rapidly.
So officially from the PBX in a Flash Development Team (we all agreed for once!)
The raspberry pi WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED!
That being said you are welcome to try to get PIAF running on it.
Good luck

Indeed - my Pi should be with me in the next few days, and I've already a working image on an SD card of Asterisk/FreePBX/WebMIN and a few other niceities ready to go with. It's not PIAF (if I was running everything contained within PIAF on a Pi, it would very quickly become bogged down - therefore I certainly won't be attempting to port PIAF to the Pi), but does contain all the functionality that *I* need in a PBX - thanks to the backup/restore feature of FreePBX it was reasonably simple to move over the required configuration.
So I guess my final comment as far as the Pi goes will be cheers for the introducion, and thanks for all the fish - I'm unlikely to be using a PIAF build at home anymore
(That being said, we still play with PIAF based boxes though work!)

Again, indeed - although there's a number of "appliance" type installations available for them already; not truely in the spirit, but there you go lol
I'm getting out of the argument whilst the going is good

Some cards work. Some don't. Move on to one of the recommended ones.
this is what happened to my pi and I cant seem to get it to work again, any suggestions please help.
cant seem to get a public ip again and cant make eveything else say up again, any ideas?? the only thing I did was to change the card for a bigger capacity one, from 4gig to 8 gig
