[Tuto] [EN/FR] Install/Installer nBoot + ControlX (+Linux)

→ **MyCalcs** profile · by **Elalfredo** » 27 Sep 2017, 17:53

Hello, je suis en 4.2 avec ControlX, je me demandais juste: pour passer en 4.5, faut faire la maj de nboot en 1er, puis celle du système après, ou bien l'inverse ?
Merci !

Salut.

Il n'y a rien à changer niveau nBoot.
C'est juste ControlX qu'il faut mettre à jour, en écrasant l'ancienne image avec BtMg.
Il vaut mieux mettre à jour ControlX avant de mettre à jour le système.

Ah oui, en effet, c'est pas nBoot sur le tuto...
Merci pour l'info critor !
(au passage super tuto

hi critor,

i love your work on the nspire! I have a question I haven't been able to easily find an answer to so I thought I'd post it here. I currently have the ti Nspire CX rev-B, OS nspire CX 4.4.0532, boot1 3.0.0.99, boot2 4.0.3.49 with ControlX 4.4.0 and nboot with ndless. I am wondering how I could go about being able to dual boot my CX with CAS? I've seen a recent Reddit/YouTube easy to follow guide in actually fully installing CAS, overwriting my CX OS. I saw you mention nSwitchOS could be used, but would it allow dual boot with CX to CAS and vice versa? would I lose data using it every time it switched if so ? I'm not fully sure how it works, and I haven't yet installed it so I thought I'd ask these questions first.

Hi.

Only one OS can be installed at a time.
nSwitchOS is a way of quickly installing a compatible OS (without needing to trigger the ControlX/maintenance menu).
But it won't really help you here, since you've got to manually switch the CAS/non-CAS flag in the ControlX menu to be able to boot a CAS/non-CAS OS.
So far, the installed OS type cannot be auto-detected at the Boot1/nBoot/ControlX level.

you really do respond fast. many thanks then. at least I know I can place it on my calculator whenever I wish. is it possible we won't have to manually change the flag later in an update for ControlX? I'm not sure if that could be possible.

You're welcome.

I won't say it's impossible, but it's not easy as at the Boot1/nBoot/ControlX level you have no filesystem access.
Due to several restrictions in this context, the ControlX code size should not increase too much...

nSwitchOS has finally been updated with OS resources extraction :

Switch your TI-Nspire OS easily whenever you want without needing to connect the calculator anymore.

When installing forbidden OSes (older versions or versions targeting another TI-Nspire model), no need to access the maintenance menu to remove the current OS anymore.

For forbidden OSes, you'll still need :
- a boot helper for versions targeting another TI-Nspire model (Nlaunch*, nBoot+ControlX)
- to reset the minOS manually for older versions if you're not using Nlaunch* (nsNandMgr/BtMg tools, or ControlX boot menu)
