Management, monitoring and multimedia services on embedded systems

The paper deals with advanced techniques of automated configuring devices based on OpenWrt Linux distribution. In the paper, the overall concept and the architecture of the system is described, one part is devoted to the tool for automatic firmware building and the issues of key modules are also discussed. The solution has been built as a universal open-source modular system within the framework of a BESIP project (Bright Embedded Solution for IP Telephony) since May 2011. In the framework of the project, more than fifty patches were implemented and accepted in OpenWrt and several packages regarding IP telephony were ported into this distribution as well. The contribution of this applied research and experimental development lies in the overall concept of the BESIP and the approach used in the build system which can help networkers to maintan increasing amount of devices that are under their administration.
