This is done to preserve write cycles on flash media, a typical installation media for embedded devices. AskoziaPBX can run on systems with as little as 200 MHz and 64 MB of RAM. It runs on x86 and PowerPC architectures. Blackfin is only supported until software version 2.0.4. Internationalization Created in Germany and initially only available in the English language, the firmware and project have now been internationalized. The configuration interface, voice prompts and notification messages have all been translated into many languages. German, Italian, Spanish, French and Dutch are the most complete with less complete translations including Chinese, Japanese, Polish, Danish and Swedish. AskoziaPBX is in use in over 175 countries. Moving from FreeBSD to Linux From late 2008 until mid 2009 the firmware was changed to use Linux as its operating system, replacing FreeBSD. This process was contracted by , a German telecommunications hardware manufacturer and was done for several reasons: Asterisk was, at the time, only officially supported on Linux. Also, FreeBSD does not support the Blackfin CPU architecture, the architecture used in Auerswald's target platform. Another Open Source project was forked and incorporated into the project to accomplish the difficult task of compiling, patching and assembling firmware images across multiple CPU architectures and target platforms. The T2 SDE project was stripped down to only include the software packages used in AskoziaPBX and then merged into the project as the new official build system. In July 2009, an alpha level release running on Linux was published. This was further stabilized into a beta release on 13 February 2010. The final production ready firmware was released as version 2.0 on 4 May 2010.
