Returns default ip after reboot

[Roberto Cavallari]

Hello!
I have a HI5318c IPC that returns i default IP 192.168.1.10 when it restarts.
My network is 192.168.25.254 and I can not change it.
I accessed TELNET and changed via #netinit and #ifconfig, but it returns the initial settings every time it reboots.
Use the command echo 1> dhcp.cfg and says I can not save. <no space left on device>
Any suggestion? How can I replace the network and dhcp.cfg files in the linux directory of this camera?

It's likely the configuration settings will have been copied into RAM on startup.
You need to find where the permanently stored configuration data is located.
And even when you do - the file system in which they exist may be read-only (eg a cramfs partition [compressed ROM file system]) as opposed to a read-write (eg a UBIFS volume).
If UBIFS - you will be able to extract a file, edit, and replace.
If cramfs, the whole mtdblock will need to be extracted, mounted, files modified, image recreated, reflashed.
So a bit of investigation, and you might just get lucky. As presumably you haven't via any web GUI the IPC has.

At the shell prompt via telnet :
mount
will show you the file systems in use and their mount points.
df
will show you the space used and remaining
cat /proc/mtd
will show you what flash partitions are defined
ubinfo -a
will show you any UBI devices / volumes if they are used.
ls -al /etc/init.d
will give some clues about initialisation routines, such as rcS, which can be inspected to determine where running files, copied to RAM, originate.
