Compatibility and clones

Many devices sold in online stores are clones of original devices or, more often, devices adapted for the local national market.

Switcam HS303 v3                =>     Qtech QVC-IPC-136W
Rostelecom IPC8232SWC-WE-B      =>     Uniview C1L-2WN-G

Device setup

WiFi Settings

Run these commands and enjoy:

fw_setenv wlanssid OpenIPC
fw_setenv wlanpass mypassword
reboot

Requirements for registration of new devices

When adding new devices, please follow a few simple rules. The list of files to be added should be minimal, try not to store binary files, remember that all common files and configurations should be stored in the firmware repository. However, some list of files must be required.

processor_flavor_vendor-model-version/br-ext-chip-sigmastar/configs/processor_flavor_vendor-model-version_defconfig
processor_flavor_vendor-model-version/general/overlay/usr/share/openipc/customizer.sh
processor_flavor_vendor-model-version/general/scripts/excludes/processor_flavor.list

The file names contain variables with option names - flavor, model, processor, vendor, version

• flavor - firmware direction in the openipc system, by default try to use "lite" as much as possible
• model - official model name from the main device manufacturer
• processor - official name of the processor in the OpenIPC structure
• vendor - the name of the official equipment manufacturer; if there are several of them, a description is created
• version - usually this is an addition to the model, version or revision of hardware differences

Preparing and using the project

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y automake autotools-dev bc build-essential curl fzf git libtool rsync \
  unzip mc tree python-is-python3
git clone https://github.com/openipc/builder.git
cd builder
./builder.sh

Existing problems

• On some devices NOR flash 8M is small, and the WiFi driver is very large and the QR scanner currently does not fit into the firmware
