Configurator

Configurator for setting up OpenIPC FPV and URLLC devices

Please download and install the latest(very important) PuTTy before running the Configurator

---

Run the "Configurator.exe" file.

Enter the IP of the camera/NVR/Radxa Zero 3w.

Click Connect to receive and load the setting files.

Edit the settings.

Click Save and Reboot.

Troubleshoot: Try to uninstall and reinstall latest version of Putty. Check the IP and network connection.

Manual setup

Linux support

The repository now ships both a cross-platform CLI (OpenIPCConfigurator.Cli) and GUI (OpenIPCConfigurator.Avalonia) that mirror the complete configurator workflows without relying on Windows-only PuTTY tooling.

Cross-platform GUI Application

The GUI version provides the same tabbed interface and functionality as the Windows Forms version but runs natively on Linux.

Building the GUI

From the repository root, you can build a self-contained GUI application:

./publish-gui.sh

The script creates a standalone executable at publish/gui/OpenIPCConfigurator.Avalonia that includes the .NET runtime and doesn't require any additional dependencies on the target system.

For development, you can run the GUI directly:

dotnet run --project OpenIPCConfigurator.Avalonia

GUI Features

• Cross-platform: Runs natively on Linux, Windows, and macOS
• Modern UI: Built with Avalonia UI for consistent appearance across platforms
• Device management: Support for OpenIPC cameras, NVR receivers, and Radxa controllers
• Configuration tabs: Organized interface for basic settings, video, and WiFi configuration
• Real-time status: Connection status and operation progress feedback
• Settings persistence: Remembers last-used IP addresses and device types

Command Line Interface

Prerequisites

• .NET 8 SDK or runtime (dotnet executable) installed on your Linux host
• Network access to the OpenIPC device (default credentials remain root / device password)
• For GUI: X11/Wayland display server (standard on most Linux desktop environments)

Building the CLI

From the repository root you can publish a Linux build with the helper script:

./publish-linux-cli.sh

The script wraps dotnet publish with the linux-x64 runtime identifier and writes the output to publish/linux/. If you prefer to run the command manually, invoke:

dotnet publish OpenIPCConfigurator.Cli/OpenIPCConfigurator.Cli.csproj \
  -c Release \
  -r linux-x64 \
  --self-contained false \
  -o publish/linux

Usage examples

Download camera configuration:

dotnet run --project OpenIPCConfigurator.Cli -- download -i 192.168.0.10 -p op

Upload the edited files back to the camera and reboot afterwards:

dotnet run --project OpenIPCConfigurator.Cli -- upload -i 192.168.0.10 -p op --reboot

Key flags:

• --device / -d – choose between openipc, nvr, or radxa.
• --yaml – switch the OpenIPC profile to the YAML-based wireless stack (wfb.yaml).
• --no-remember – skip updating settings.conf with the last-used IP address.

Additional commands

The CLI mirrors the legacy Extern.bat workflow, exposing commands for maintenance tasks beyond configuration sync. Highlights:

• keys download|upload|generate – manage drone key material for the camera or ground station.
• uart enable|disable – toggle console login over UART0.
• msp – install MSP extras, adjust OSD profiles, or configure ground-station telemetry presets.
• services restart – restart wifibroadcast or majestic without a full reboot.
• sensors, kernel, scripts – transfer binary blobs and helper scripts with automatic backup support.
• firmware offline-upgrade – push a .tgz firmware package and trigger sysupgrade (with optional --force).
• recording, audio, mavlink, bittest, video – tweak runtime features such as DVR recording, audio, telemetry level, or video sizing.
• radxa reset, camera factory-reset, air-manager install, pixelpilot install, alink deploy – perform higher-level platform maintenance, including Radxa resets and PixelPilot provisioning.

Run dotnet run --project OpenIPCConfigurator.Cli -- help <command> for the full option set on any subcommand.

For full option details run dotnet run --project OpenIPCConfigurator.Cli -- help.
