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

If you did update to OS 4.5.1 without updating Ndless first, then the reboot-loop is normal.

Here's a workaround :

• use the maintenance menu to remove the OS
• get the latest Ndless with partial OS 4.5.1 support
• replace your /ndless/ndless_resources file with the new one
• reinstall OS 4.5.1

Ok. Then :

• use the maintenance menu to remove the OS
• get the latest Ndless with partial OS 4.5.1 support : archives_voir.php?id=44445
• replace your /ndless/ndless_resources file with the new one
• reinstall OS 4.5.1

use the maintenance menu to remove the OS, I try to push together, and one by one, I DO NOT see any difference.

• hold all 3 keys
• without releasing them, press and release the reset button on the back
• if the calculator didn't turn back on automatically, still without releasing the keys, press , 2 times if necessary
• as soon as the screen turns on, you may release everything

The installation how-to in the first post has been altered.

4.4.0.8 is now the new recommended Boot2 version for the nBoot+ControlX setup.

If you already have a working setup, don't bother. Current and future ControlX versions are still going to work with Boot2 4.0.3.
And anyway, OS 4.5.1 is supposed to be the last TI-Nspire CX OS, so it's unlikely you'll ever have to update your calculator again.

In this context, I also think it's possible to significantly simplify the repartitioning step, but this will require further tests.

Hey critor, I'm trying to remove the red floppy disk image. I don't care about the text, I just think the image itself is unsightly. How do I compile the program? I've installed GNU Make, and have tried doing `make all` in the source directory, but I get the error:

Code: Select all

FIND: Parameter format not correct
make -C ndless_loader
make[1]: Entering directory '$PATH_TO_SOURCE/ndless_loader'
The system cannot find the path specified.
arm-none-eabi-ld -nostdlib -nostartfiles -e ndless_loader -PIE -T ldscript ndless_loader_cx_cas.o -o ndless_loader_cx_cas.elf
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, arm-none-eabi-ld -nostdlib -nostartfiles -e ndless_loader -PIE -T ldscript ndless_loader_cx_cas.o -o ndless_loader_cx_cas.elf, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.

make[1]: Leaving directory '$PATH_TO_SOURCE/ndless_loader'
make: *** [Makefile:9: ndless_loader] Error 2

What do I do? Thanks in advance.

Which OS are you running this from ? "FIND: Parameter format not correct" doesn't ring a bell to me.

@KoolDude214
If I remember well, the red floppy disk image is only displayed when something got saved to the flash.

make is ok, but you need to install the Ndless SDK first :
