I have an old IP camera that no longer works, doesn't start the ipcamn
executable (application that also listens for port 80 connections).
Therefore I cannot access it via the network and the camera doesn't perform its intended purpose.
It is based on a RA5350 chip, if I attach a serial to USB adapter to it I can see it booting, then it outputs:
Data CRC 01e4cb65 != calculated CRC ed5f8089 for node at 00240af0
Data CRC 01e4cb65 != calculated CRC ed5f8089 for node at 00240af0
Data CRC 01e4cb65 != calculated CRC ed5f8089 for node at 00240af0
The system is usable, I can move around, I even copied the contents in search of which program outputs this error.
I have found that the camera uses two processes videocatch
and ipcamn
(this is true according to other internet resources as well).
The ipcamn
is the process outputting these errors. However upon disassembling or looking at the strings contained in it or the .so
files on the system I cannot find anything related to the error above.
I'd like to trace the error to its cause and see if it's fixable. Any ideas?

I also tried to rule out HW problems by copying the binaries over to a Debian MIPS system in QEMU, but I cannot run the executables on MIPS nor on MIPSEL:
user@debian-mips:~/mnt/bin$ ./ipcamn
-bash: ./ipcamn: cannot execute binary file
root@debian-mipsel:/home/user/mnt/bin# ./ipcamn
bash: ./ipcamn: No such file or directory
root@debian-mipsel:/home/user/mnt/bin# file ipcamn
ipcamn: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS, MIPS-II version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
The file exists and is executable.
ipcamn
applicatoin doesn't start. Therefore I cannot access it since there is no web daemon running. After I get those errors on the serial port, there is no other thing that's happening on the camera.. – Paul Dec 18 '20 at 12:22
