TILP: beta-test...

[Lionel Debroux]

Un problème connu sous win7 x64, ou ... ?

Non, et en particulier pas cette version-là: ça fonctionne pour moi sur la machine 7 x64 de mon père, malgré TI-Connect et TINCLS...

[Adriweb]

Peut-être un problème avec les USB3 ? (Mais j'ai pourtant testé aussi sur les ports USB2, m'enfin les drivers/surcouches HP et Dell font peut-être du caca...)

[Persalteas]

J'ai également TILP sur Linux et aucun souci avec

Quand à la version Windows, j'avais eu du mal à l'installer à une époque, j'avais abandonné, mais depuis que j'ai installé TIlem II, le runtime GTK+ doit être le bon cette fois, je pourrais réessayer.

Les principaux atouts "publicitaires" de TILP seraient :
- D'être léger ?
- D'être multiplateforme ?
- D'être multi-génération (z80/68k/Nspire, avec tous les différents types de cables) ?
- De pouvoir dumper aisément toutes les ROMs ?

Oui.

- De pouvoir dumper aisément toutes les ROMs ?

Un petit bémol: il n'y a pas encore de vrai dumper 84+CSE (mais on peut se débrouiller autrement), et il n'y a pas de dumper générique pour Nspire (seulement sur les OS 1.x, qui envoient gentiment "../phoenix/install/TI-Nspire.tnc" quand on le leur demande).

I have just released TILP II 1.17, GFM 1.07 and the associated libraries

Guess what... many changes since TILP II 1.16 (quite a bit more than between any two consecutive releases from years past, in fact), the most noteworthy of which are:
* conversion of TILP from Glade to GTK+Builder: the bulk of the work was done by Jon Sturm, it opens the door to further improvements on the code base.
* Initial, incomplete TI-84+CSE support: OS upgrades, FlashApps, pictures and possibly certificate files are supported (provided the files are renamed from *.8c? to *.8x?), background images not supported.
* new TI-Z80 ROM dumper, with improved 82/85 support, 84+ Flash unlocking, etc.
* USB scan at startup (options.auto_detect) enabled by default (but old config files are not updated, obviously), to match the behaviour of TI-Connect and TINC(L)S.
* no more cmd window for TILP on Windows: the output is now properly redirected to a file even when there's no such window (by Benjamin Moody).
* other features: raw mode external linking, loading libusb-win32 dynamically, tons of previously (wrongly) internal libticalcs functions now exported to user programs so that they no longer need to copy and paste thousands of lines of code if they merely want to implement a new command not yet implemented by libticalcs, Nspire remote control primitives, 83+ DBUS memory page dump primitive, initial TI-80 VSC support, etc.
* bugfixes: more warnings, more crasher bugs, more undefined behaviour fixed (clang is a valuable tool !); upstream fixes to ease downstream packagers' job.

Special thanks to Benjamin Moody and Jon Sturm for their contributions and code reviews !
More changes to come: switching to Git full-time, first-class 84+CSE support, new TI-Z80 commands, further modularization / cleanups / hardening / improvements of the code base, etc.

Here are the source tarballs: libticonv, libtifiles, libticables, libticalcs, tilp, gfm.
Here are the Windows installers: tilp, gfm.

Je ne poste ce message qu'en anglais car je n'ai pas le temps de traduire ce soir. D'ailleurs, je vois que je n'avais pas non plus traduit le précédent post en français, ce n'est pas bien...

The TILP II 1.18 development cycle has officially started

Changes from TILP II 1.17 are few, but important:
* switched the development trees for libti*, gfm and tilp from SVN to Git. Two main repositories are used: libticonv + libtifiles + libticables + libticalcs on the one side ( https://github.com/debrouxl/tilibs ), gfm + tilp on the other side ( https://github.com/debrouxl/tilp_and_gfm ).The https://github.com/debrouxl/tilp_and_gf ... ll_tilp.sh helper script has been updated, you need to re-download it !
* 84+CSE ROM dumping through both I/O ports, by Benjamin Moody;
* 84+CSE screenshots through both I/O ports, by Benjamin Moody (with minor torture tests and translation updates by me).

Sadly, I haven't yet been able to test the new changes on a real 84+CSE...

Mid-level functionality for Jonimus' ROM dumper shall be integrated by creating a fifth libti* library, and moving some common code from gfm, tilp, titools and probably tilem into "tiopers" (current working name for that new library). Jonimus' driver-less Windows serial port backend is planned to find its way into the libticables code base as well.

The usual links:
* Windows installer download: http://tiplanet.org/beta/setup.exe .
* Source code: https://github.com/debrouxl/tilibs + https://github.com/debrouxl/tilp_and_gfm .
* patches not yet committed to Git: none this time
* install script for anything non-Windows which is handled by TILP: https://github.com/debrouxl/tilp_and_gf ... ll_tilp.sh (updated !).

EDIT en 2021: mise à jour du lien vers le script d'installation *nix.

Une fois qu'apt-get a installé toutes les dépendences (:P), j'ai réussi a compiler et lancer la 1.18 corectement
Il a détecté succesfully ma 84C, la comm' marche, etc., mais le screenshotting a l'air d'avoir quelques problèmes ....




Le ROM-Dump marche (mais pourquoi suis-je en test-mode, allez savoir )

I've created a new Windows build tonight.

Changes between the first TILP II 1.18 Windows beta build and this one:
* bugfix: applied patch by Benjamin for fixing 84+CSE screenshots;
* bugfix: removed "UsbKernel" option from the cables list in the TILP UI, that has been outdated for many years now (but people still occasionally try to use it);
* addition: functions for sending and receiving lesser-known DBUS commands (29 / 2A, 2B / 2C, 6E, 47 / 74) for the 83+ family. Missing: 89, CA, B7.

Nearly 4 months later, here's a new build.

Main changes between the second TILP II 1.18 Windows beta build and this one:
* addition: near-complete German translation, contributed through Debian downstream (I don't speak German, so help needed for keeping the translation up to date)
* addition: two commands for sending and reading generic data in NavNet format from a Nspire, similar to TI's TI_NN_Write and TI_NN_Read. They shall be useful for e.g. pacspire.
* addition: like other commands before, 89 DBUS commands and 80 DBUS commands are exported from the library and become directly usable. As far as I'm concerned, this completes the command hardening and direct exportation: the remaining models (82, 85, 92) are ancient, it doesn't make as much sense to export their commands directly.
* bugfix: a crasher in libtifiles, spotted by AddressSanitizer.

The usual links:
* Windows installer download: http://tiplanet.org/beta/setup.exe .
* Source code: https://github.com/debrouxl/tilibs + https://github.com/debrouxl/tilp_and_gfm .
* patches not yet committed to Git: http://tiplanet.org/beta/tilibs_patchse ... 01.tar.bz2, http://tiplanet.org/beta/tilp_and_gfm_p ... 01.tar.bz2 (the timestamps are very close to each other because I rewrote nearly every patch to add the forgotten Signed-off-by tag).
* install script for anything non-Windows which is handled by TILP: https://github.com/debrouxl/tilp_and_gf ... ll_tilp.sh .

The TODO list contains items such as, but not limited to:
* finish introduction of a fifth libti* library, dubbed "libtiopers", for factoring code useful to multiple libti* clients. For now, there's pretty little in the new library, and disentangling is not that easy...
* finish GTK+3 compatibility patch;
* add a TILP menu entry for exiting the PTT mode (greyed out if not connected to a Nspire), the feature request indirectly sprang up yesterday again on #omnimaga;
* make Nspire "ROM dumping" (OS dumping) work on all models, by duplicating BrandonW's Fron;
* minor installer and file encoding fixes.

EDIT in 2021: updated the link to the *nix install script.

Thanks for the great contributions!
TILP is the only way to communicate with my calc in Linux, and it is nice to see that it's being actively developed again.

I would like to report a bug/feature that was already reported in the svn.
Could you modify tifiles to see subdirectories in Nspire models?
Also, files in the root directory, are treated as folders.
