A fork of OpenIPC/firmware that builds camera images running Raptor as the streamer instead of Majestic.
- Raptor replaces Majestic as the streamer: a set of small daemons sharing frames through shared memory, all GPL-3.0 and rebuildable, where the stock image runs one closed binary.
- Retuned ISP calibration on most of the sensors this fork has had on a bench -- the sensor table below marks which.
- Sensor driver fixes. SC450AI reports its model ID, so the ISP loads its IQ tuning instead of none; and mirror/flip is applied on nine SigmaStar drivers that staged the register and then dropped it.
- Wi-Fi setup portal. A camera with no network configured raises its own access point and serves a setup page instead of sitting unreachable.
- A MAC address per camera, derived from the flash unique ID or the SoC die ID, so two cameras on one network do not arrive sharing one.
- A hostname per camera, derived from the SoC and the sensor.
Sizes are the squashfs from the latest nightly, so they move with every
build. Free is the headroom a Wi-Fi driver or an IQ tuning has to fit into --
a driver is often 1.5 MB, which is why the column is here and why
hi3516cv608_os04d10_raptorwifi, at 28 KB, already carries one.

Every image carries drivers for more sensors than have ever been in front of one. Bold is tested on a camera here and carries a tuning made for this fork; italic is tested on a camera but renders with the stock tuning; the rest ship a driver nobody here has run.

These are experimental builds. Have a recovery path before you write one to a camera.
A recovery path means a way to get the camera booting again when the image you just wrote does not: soldered UART leads you have already used once, or a SPI flash clip and a programmer. Not a plan to acquire one afterwards. Nothing in this fork is widely deployed, several targets have run on exactly one unit, and a rootfs is only discovered to be bad after it has been written to flash.
Read the wiki on flashing and serial/UART first if you have not done this before.
These images are ordinary OpenIPC sysupgrade archives. Upgrading an existing
OpenIPC camera may or may not work depending on which variant it runs
(lite, ultimate) and the partition layout it was flashed with.
ssh root@<board> 'sysupgrade --url=<link from the table>'The configuration console is at http://<camera>/.
A new camera ships unclaimed: root has no password, so nothing can be configured and anyone who can reach the camera can take it. Claiming it means setting that password, and it is what protects the console afterwards. Three doors do it, and any one is enough:
- the console at
http://<camera>/, which draws a claim card instead of its settings while the camera has no password; - the setup page on the camera's own access point, if it has no network yet;
- SSH -- log in as
rootwith an empty password and it prompts for one.
They all write the same file and read it live, so whichever you use, the other
two see it immediately. sysupgrade -n wipes the overlay and returns the
camera to unclaimed, which is also the way back from a forgotten password.
This build tree is MIT, inherited from upstream OpenIPC. Raptor itself is GPL-3.0 -- all four of its repositories are -- so an image built here mixes the two, and the Raptor daemons carry GPLv3 obligations that the rest of the tree does not.
OpenIPC is the reason any of this boots at all: kernel, bootloader, vendor packaging and the Buildroot tree are theirs. See the project, the website and the wiki, and consider supporting them at Open Collective.
