I want to build for GL-XE300 whicih is ath79 platform ,Openwrt 19.07 and Asterisk16.
Could you show the steps for cross-compile process?

Ugh - this was a challenge! Old OpenWRT, Asterisk, GCC and old CMake. But finally here you are:

Assuming all prerequisites are fulfilled:

echo Step 0 - Install python2
sudo apt install python2

echo Step 1 - Clone asterisk-chan-quectel repository
git clone https://github.com/RoEdAl/asterisk-chan-quectel.git acq
cd acq

echo Step 2 - Initialize CMake environment
./make-build-dir.cmake default 162502
./install-openwrt-makefile.cmake

echo Step 3 - Download and extract OpenWRT SDK
cd install/openwrt
wget https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.9/targets/ath79/nand/openwrt-sdk-19.07.9-ath79-nand_gcc-7.5.0_musl.Linux-x86_64.tar.xz
tar -xf openwrt-sdk-19.07.9-ath79-nand_gcc-7.5.0_musl.Linux-x86_64.tar.xz
rm openwrt-sdk-19.07.9-ath79-nand_gcc-7.5.0_musl.Linux-x86_64.tar.xz
mv openwrt-sdk-19.07.9-ath79-nand_gcc-7.5.0_musl.Linux-x86_64 sdk-ath79

echo Step 4 - Tweak SDK - use CMake from host computer rather than from SDK
echo Step 4 - CMake shipped with SDK is too old - minimum required version is 3.19
rm sdk-ath79/staging_dir/host/bin/cmake
cp -s $(which cmake) sdk-ath79/staging_dir/host/bin/cmake

echo Step 5 - Prepare configuration files
cp feeds-strskx.conf diffconfig build-opk.sh sdk-ath79

echo Step 6 - Build package - this may take some time
cd sdk-ath79
./build-opk.sh

echo Your package location
ls bin/packages/*/strskx/*.ipk

Please do not execute commands blindly and watch output messages.

Check out my workflows:

build-opk
publish (build-openwrt-pkg task)

Generated package wasn't tested at all.

First of all thank you very much for challenge and detaild steps.

I could build the package with Ubnutu18.04 running on Virtualbox.
Only exception from step was skipping Step0 Install Python2.

ipk was succefully installed to my GL-XE300.

GL.Inet firmware runs some daemon to check modem port.
So I temporary stop the daemon then chan-quectel could handle modem port.

I got modem port locked.

Maybe sound device is in use too.

Please show the output of following commands:

cat /proc/asound/card*/stream*
cat /proc/asound/card*/pcm*c/info
cat /proc/asound/card*/pcm*p/info

Audio device isn't in use.

Maybe this is endianness issue. You must rebuild package with the latest changes.
Just go to acq directory and execute following commands:

git pull
./install-openwrt-makefile.cmake
cd install/openwrt/sdk-ath79
./build-opk.sh

OMG Next issue happed.
I wrote little extensions.conf to dial from quectel0

exten => _0Z.,1,Dial(Quectel/quectel0/${EXTEN})
exten => _0Z, n, HangUp()

SIP phone can connect another phone via quectel,
But I only hear noise..

I use following method to check sound device is working.
Terminal 1

root@GL-XE300:~#aplay music.wav
Playing WAVE 'music.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono

Ternimal2

dial numner with picocom
ATDXXXXXXXXXX;

Take my phone then can hear music.

hmm,I will check alsa lib and asterisk confs this weekend.
or should move to latest openwrt and libs.

Thank you again for your kind help.

This still may be an issue with big-endian CPU architecture. Somewhere translation from S16_LE to S16_BE (or vice versa) should be performed. Please do not upgrade OpenWRT for a while if you can. I'll check it in the coming days.

I do not upgrade OpenWRT.
Endian, I'm learning a lot from you.

RoEdAl Nov 2, 2023

OK. This definitely is big-endian issue. Please sync repo an rebuild package again.

Yes it worked!
With new package, I can hear voice.
Thank you very much for your support.
