Release v2.17

ESP32-P4 AllSky Display v2.17

Binary Files

Two binary files are included in this release:

• *-Factory.bin — For initial USB installation (includes bootloader + partitions + app)

  • Use this file for fresh installs via esptool or Flash Download Tool
  • Flash to address 0x0

• *-OTA.bin — For wireless OTA updates only (app only)

  • Use this file for web-based updates via ElegantOTA at http://[device-ip]:8080/update
  • DO NOT flash this to address 0x0 — will cause boot loop

Display Compatibility

Pre-compiled firmware works with both display sizes:

• 3.4" Waveshare Display (800x800) — Default on first boot
• 4.0" Waveshare Display (720x720) — Select in Web UI System settings after flashing

Display type can be changed at runtime without recompilation.

Changes in This Release

Features

• Implemented full device configuration backup and restore functionality.
• Added config_backup module for serializing and deserializing device configuration using ArduinoJson, supporting schema versioning.
• Introduced API endpoints GET /api/backup for downloading configuration and POST /api/restore for uploading and applying configuration.
• Enabled optional inclusion of secrets (e.g., WiFi/MQTT passwords, HA token) in backups.
• Designed a lenient restore process that applies recognized fields, ignores unknown fields, and retains current values for absent fields.
• Added a "Backup and Restore" card to the System settings page in the web UI.
• Integrated new web UI elements and API endpoints for backup and restore.

Documentation

• Updated the configuration guide (docs/03_configuration.md) to include details on the new backup/restore functionality.
• Extended the API reference (docs/developer/api_reference.md) with new endpoints for backup and restore.

Configuration

• Added new configuration definitions related to the backup and restore feature in config.h.
• Updated build_info.h, likely for versioning or build-related information.
