How to add SIP client functionality to embedded Linux

d2army · 03-21-2008, 04:35 PM

Hi there

I am developing/using an embedded Linux box (running a 2.4.x kernel), and I would like to add SIP functionality to it.

What I need this device to do :

(1) Register to any PBX, e.g. Asterisk, as a SIP client
(2) Be able to "call" this device from a phone registered with the same PBX

Do you recommend any specific SIP open-source implementations for this case?

Thanks
IS

Why not look at the snom phone sources they are released under the gpl

There's Shtoom, although it doesn't seem to have been maintained for a couple of years. One advantage, or disadvantage, depending on your point of view, is that it's written in python, so should be easy to adapt if you are familiar with the language.
