GK7205V500 firmware request
Greetings,
I bought 5 cameras which have GK7205V500 CPU. I saw only GK7205V200, GK7205V210 and GK7205V300 are supported in the OPENIPC website (https://openipc.org/cameras/vendors/goke).
I am so hyped by this project that I tried to search everywhere for the GK7205V500 openipc firmware. After looking for previous issues, I found this merge request for the GK7205V500 (https://github.com/OpenIPC/firmware/pull/1708).
Then I found this binary in the latest releases (https://github.com/OpenIPC/firmware/releases/download/latest/openipc.gk7205v500-nor-lite.tgz) Inside, there is rootfs.squashfs.gk7205v500 and uImage.gk7205v500 file. I tried to play with it with my camera and succeeded to boot with /bin/sh, but the credentials openipc/12345 doesn't work when I try to use the command login. I used this command to boot into shell. setenv ipaddr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; setenv serverip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; sf probe 0;setenv bootargs init=/bin/sh mem=38M console=ttyAMA0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock1 rootfstype=squashfs mtdparts=sfc:0x40000(boot),0x540000(romfs),0x740000(usr),0x180000(web),0x80000(custom),0x140000(mtd);tftp 0x43000000 rootfs.squashfs.gk7205v500;tftp 0x42000000 uImage.gk7205v500;squashfsload;bootm 0x42000000
Therefore I would have some stupid questions... Is it normal that the default login isn't working when I try to login from shell (having loaded squashfs and uImage on RAM)? Do I need OPENIPC uboot in order to make this image work or should it work with the original uboot from the camera?
Sorry to ask that but is GK7205V500 in the pipes? If needed I can test dev releases with my cameras :)
Thank you in advance, your project is AWESOME!
Have you made any progress?
I just received a Tptek-branded GK7205V500 5MP camera (ICSee app). I'm not particularly talented with embedded stuff, but I'll try to dump firmware or see if I can flash it. It's such a pain in the ass to find a camera that 'just works' with OpenIPC.
