OpenAthan v0.5.0

OpenAthan now supports Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-LCD-1.85C-BOX V2, alongside the AtomS3R C126 + Voice Pyramid A167. Waveshare V1 is not supported.

What’s included

  • Standalone scheduled Athan with stored normal and Fajr recordings, plus setup and settings from your phone.
  • Waveshare’s round display with saved brightness and a 12- or 24-hour clock.
  • BOOT button controls to stop playback, skip the next Athan or cancel a skip.
  • Clock recovery after a restart using the onboard RTC, after initial internet time synchronization and while RTC power is retained.
  • Signed Wi-Fi firmware updates for each supported board, preserving settings, Wi-Fi credentials, prayer history and recordings.
  • USB setup that recognizes hardware running compatible OpenAthan. For a blank device or other firmware, you select the model before installation.

Install and update

Install and set up OpenAthan using desktop Chrome or Edge. For Waveshare Box V2, connect a USB data cable to the rear USB-C port.

Fresh installation erases existing firmware, Wi-Fi credentials, settings and prayer history. To preserve saved data, use the Wi-Fi updater in your existing production device’s settings. USB firmware updates that preserve saved data are not yet available through the public installer.

Start at a low volume. Waveshare now uses its full software volume range, so saved volume settings can sound louder than before.

Current limitations

Touch input, microphones and SD card storage are not yet supported. RTC backup-battery operation, time retention while unplugged and long-term clock drift have not yet been verified.

Waveshare Box V2 installation, setup, signed updates, recovery from a power interruption before the update takes effect, and rollback when an update fails to start passed hardware testing.

For technical details, see the firmware update documentation and the manifests, build reports and checksums in Assets below.
