Hi,

Is anyone working on a g729 codec for the Raspberry Pi?

ARM11 core I think. Can be clocked to 1Ghz.

Asterisk is already running on it.

See http://sourceforge.net/p/raspbx/discussion/general/thread/366d6ec4/, I'm making some progress as a self educational experiment.

Hi,

 

Are you outside North America?  Do you have a non .com email address?

 

I’ll need your serial number if you are.

 

#cat /proc/cpuinfo

 

Regards,

 

Wes Bird

Hi Wes,

I'm living in the Netherlands, so I'm free to use G729 on a non-commercial base.
Serial          : 00000000ea90c593
Please specify which tests you want.
I did some testing on G726 and G722 codecs which are unusable at the moment.
I will send you a copy of this message by private email.

Hi guys,

How is it going? We haven't heard from this group in a while nor from the sourceforge page.. but there must be thousands if not tens of thousands of pi users wanting even a low efficiency codec to handle at least a few streams of G792.

Do you have something that we can start testing with even if not perfect? Perhaps you will get help if you release something to the public and get the excitement levels up again since December when we were so sure you were almost done.

BR,
Zenon

actually,  you can refer to this project : https://bitbucket.org/arkadi/asterisk-g72x
And change the compiler flags(to armv6)  then you can add g72[9|3] to your RPI.

Please re-email on the SF address  here: http://sourceforge.net/p/raspbx/discussion/general/thread/60bb4113/ as I have multiple email addresses and two businesses to run.  I get hundreds of non-spam emails a day.  You have to call me if you want attention aside from that.

Hi, 

I am open to testing it as well.

Am running raspbx for my personal usage.

I was able  to build working g729 codec using bcg729 library. Performance is enough for at least 1 channel, may be more is possible as well.

See https://bitbucket.org/samm_hg/asterisk-g72x/ if you want to test

Hi,

this isn't dead - I've just been very busy with my two real businesses.  The RasPBX implementation at http://sourceforge.net/p/raspbx/discussion/general/thread/60bb4113/ supports 10 simultaneous transcodes at 700MHz CPU.   I'm going to start a Neon port for Beagle soon too.

I will be issuing a new batch of Beta licenses some time in Feb so please contact me be the methods described in my threads.  Not in public please.

Regards,

Wes

Today i did some benchmarks with bcg729 based g.729 codec. I was performing test on the 700Mhz Pi with Asterisk 1.8.

To do the test i was initiating calls from softphone (ulaw codec) to the remote node with g729 only. Remote side was running echo test.

What i found so far: Raspberry is able to transcode 5 streams smoothly with about 10% of the idle CPU. Stream #6 do have some glitches and CPU is 100% busy, so it is not recommended.

If you want to test binary version - please send me request to samm [at] os2.kiev.ua. After some testing i will put them on the web site, for different Asterisk versions.

Yes – no bugs reported at all. 

 

It’s been working since October 2012 – 10 simultaneous transcodes are possible on the Pi.  About 30 people have tested this so far on Sat links etc.  1000 transcoded calls before you have to restart Asterisk 11, or type in the g729 Beta restart command.

 

The license key is essential though.

 

I need your serial no:

 

Become a root user and type into the command prompt:

 

#cat /proc/cpuinfo

 

And paste the printout back to me.

 

Regards,

 

Wes bird

Hey!

Thank you for the hard work, I would like to test the codec myself, I use my rasPBX for personal use, here is my serial number

I have successfully compiled BCG729 for Raspbery Pi 3. Test quality was good. If you think it may help you, you may visit - https://techfoxweb.wordpress.com/2017/02/23/g729-raspbx-in-raspberry-pi-3/
