Introduction

This page describes OpenWRT-based firmware variant.

Firmware features

  • RTSP, ONVIF, NETIP
  • Native ipeye service support
  • Support squashfs, jffs2, overlayfs, vfat
  • Vlan and bridges support
  • Standard OPKG package system
  • Tiny SNMP daemon
  • Curl with SSL for upload/download files
  • Run arbitrary command from u-boot ENV (linux_cmd=)
  • Simple L2/L3 VPN with traffic shaping and compression (vtun)
  • Simply sender Telegram bot (estgb)
  • Low cost 3G/4G USB modems support in hilink mode
  • µVPN tunnel service
  • and more ...

Supported devices

We aim to develop universal, portable firmware supporting wide range of manufacturers and delivering updates and fixes which vendors oftentimes unable to deliver.

The list is constantly updated, please visit often and/or follow our Telegram groups for new release notifications.

More information about sensors: https://cctvsp.ru (translated from Russian with Google Translate).

Web interface

Majestic streamer

Majestic is a video streaming application, the heart of our firmware (in relation to camera/video surveillance functionality). It's configurable via file /etc/majestic.yaml and by default has many features/services enabled. Unneeded options can be turned off for better security and performance.

To run majestic in debug mode:

killall -sigint majestic; export SENSOR=$(ipctool --sensor_id); majestic

To run majestic in production mode restart the camera or run command:

killall -sigint majestic; export SENSOR=$(ipctool --sensor_id); majestic 2>&1 | logger -p daemon.info -t majestic &

Camera related URLs in firmware

Information on streamer URLs and their description can be found in the Wiki.

Statistical data

Software might do product usage data collection including SoC and sensor model name to gather statistics used in QA process.

We guaranty that the data is fully anonymized, and does not contain anything that can arguably be considered data about an individual, that could be considered end-user data; or that could be sensitive or confidential to users.

Releases

The releases of the OpenIPC firmware are hosted at https://github.com/OpenIPC/chaos_calmer/releases.

Source code

The source code of the OpenIPC firmware is hosted at https://github.com/openipc/chaos_calmer.

Building from source

Build on Linux machine

Usage example for Debian 8/9

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/OpenIPC/chaos_calmer.git OpenIPC
cd OpenIPC
./Project_OpenIPC.sh update
./Project_OpenIPC.sh 16cv300_DEFAULT

Use Docker for building

Default Dockerfile.openipc

FROM debian:stretch

RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update \
    && apt-get --no-install-recommends -y install bc bison build-essential \
    ca-certificates cmake cpio curl dos2unix file flex gawk gcc-multilib \
    gettext gettext-base git intltool libc6-dev liblocale-gettext-perl \

    && localedef -i en_US -c -f UTF-8 -A /usr/share/locale/locale.alias \
    en_US.UTF-8 && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

ENV LANG en_US.utf8

WORKDIR /src/openipc

RUN git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/OpenIPC/chaos_calmer.git /src/openipc
RUN ./Project_OpenIPC.sh update
RUN ./Project_OpenIPC.sh 18ev200_DEFAULT  # <= Change this ID to you profile

Start building

#!/bin/bash

docker build -t openipc -f Dockerfile.openipc .

Preparing to install

Get access to U-boot

Serial (UART) connection to your camera device is required.

  • CamHi | Press Ctrl+C in U-boot start and access password - HI2105CHIP
  • Dahua | Press Shift 8 in U-boot start
  • JVT | Press Ctrl+Q in U-boot start
  • XM | Press Ctrl+C in U-boot start
  • SigmaStar | Press Ctrl+B (UNIV) or Enter (Anjvision) in U-boot start

Backup original MAC

You should definitely write the original MAC of your device on the eth0 port.

This is important and will be necessary at the final stage of device configuration.

Flash and memory layout

We have developed a universal partition system for camera flash chips, and it is now available as standard for all types of devices. (Note that it means it likely doesn't match vendor flash layout.)

OpenIPC flash layout

Flashing new firmware

Attention!

All examples indicate the download of firmware components via the TFTP server. If your device does not have an Ethernet port, replace all tftp commands with fatload mmc 0:1. For example:

tftp 0x82000000 openwrt-hi35xx-XXXXX-u-boot.bin
#
fatload mmc 0:1 0x82000000 openwrt-hi35xx-XXXXX-u-boot.bin

Updating parts of the firmware

If you already have OpenIPC firmware installed, you can update individual flash partitions from shell command line:

Update u-boot

flashcp -v openwrt-hi35xx-XXXXX-u-boot.bin boot

or

flashcp -v openwrt-hi35xx-XXXXX-u-boot.bin /dev/mtd0

Update kernel

flashcp -v openwrt-hi35xx-XXXXX-default-uImage kernel

Update rootfs

flashcp -v openwrt-hi35xx-XXXXX-default-root.squashfs rootfs

Configuring system after installation

Format overlayfs partition

Must be executed on the first run!

flash_eraseall -j /dev/$(awk -F ':' '/rootfs_data/ {print $1}' /proc/mtd)
reboot

Installing the original MAC

U-boot ENV and Linux UCI

fw_setenv ethaddr 00:01:02:03:04:05
uci set network.lan.macaddr=00:01:02:03:04:05
uci commit

Installing the correct sensor

Specify your correct sensor, control type, and data bus

fw_setenv sensor imx291_i2c_lvds

Resetting configuration

If something went wrong, you can reset configuration to defaults.

Clean overlayfs (reset)

Restore to default Linux settings

firstboot
reboot

Clean u-boot env

Restore to default u-boot env

flash_eraseall -j /dev/$(awk -F ':' '/env/ {print $1}' /proc/mtd)
reboot

Recover backup firmware

If something goes horribly wrong, and you want your backed up firmware back
