ipctool segfaults on xm510

[nickoe]

Hi

I am playing around with a camera I have laying around, I think we identify this as an xm510. I got telnet access with the Snawoot/hisilicon-dvr-telnet tool.

I tried to download the ipctool binary on https://github.com/OpenIPC/ipctool/releases/download/latest/ipctool which appears to have been updated two days ago.

$ sha256sum ipctool 
8d0f7c48c1f6a616d39bff8dc41c1e2ac86b1b6276995eca0211eecd29cd97eb  ipctool
$ file ipctool 
ipctool: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, no section header

My device reports:

So I guess that it segfaults because it is not built for the correct abi? Does a version for ARMv7 exist somewhere precomipled?

Last part of the transfer for completeness:

I wonder why the file size appaers to be different:

/tmp # ls -la ipctool 
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        271080 Apr  3 23:07 ipctool

vs my own machine

ipctool]$ ls -lb ipctool 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 foo  foo 132744 Apr  3 23:02 ipctool

I even tried to do:

$ wget https://musl.cc/armv7l-linux-musleabihf-cross.tgz
$ tar xvf armv7l-linux-musleabihf-cross.tgz
$ cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=$(pwd)/armv7l-linux-musleabihf-cross/bin/armv7l-linux-musleabihf-gcc -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
$ make
$ file ipctool 
ipctool: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, no section header

But it appears to result in the same elf file format and it also segfaults. Any help is appreciated.
