PM a link of 4.4.3 to me please

Could you do the same for me?

[Edit by Bisam] Quoting the previous message entirely when only one line is enough is completely useless !!

New private version 4.4.3 that I'm starting to be happy with.


It doesn't reflash the Manuf model ID anymore and hot-patches something else in the Boot2 instead.
So, no more risks of bricking your calculator.

Option #7 is to switch between CX and CM modes. So you can install much lighter CM OSes on your CX, and CX OSes on your CM (you can finally upgrade your CM to 3.2.3+, but remember it only has 32MiB SDRAM...).

Option #8 is to switch between CAS and numeric modes (as already state, only applies the minimal booting patches - so OSes 3.9+ CAS are going to start on your non-CAS for example, but using any feature which is not suited for your model is going to trigger a reboot).

Option #9 is to switch between the production and development RSA keys. So you can install and run development CX OSes on your production CX. Does nothing in CM mode, as we've never found any development CM OS.

Does this mean there may be a public version soon or will anybody who wants it have to PM you?
(And as a side note even though I have virtually no experience with programming on the Ndless platform, I have lots of experience as a C/C++ programmer and I have found some interesting results with earlier attempts to get OS 3.6 running on my HW T which might be helpful)

Nlaunch CXM 2.5 is online :
archives_voir.php?id=19507

It adds :
- full ClickPad/TouchPad 3.6 OS support
- full ClickPad/TouchPad 3.9.0.463 OS support

Like Nlaunchy, OS 3.9.0.461 is not fully supported.
Both OSes share the same reset vector, so for Nlaunchy it's the same OS.
But, while the lower syscalls adresses are the same, the higher syscalls adresses are slightly different.
So, depending upon the context, OS 3.9.0.461 is likely to crash. Just use 3.9.0.463 in its place.

I didn't include CX 3.6/3.9 OSes support, just move on to nBoot+ControlX when it's released.
It'll be more reliable and safer once installed, and it's going to work on much more TI-Nspire CX hardware revisions (as you don't need Boot2 3.1 anymore, a version incompatible with hardware revisions J+).

When you release ControlX 4.4.3 will you still be supporting os 3.1 and reboot prof ndless on the operating system? I know that it is fairly old compared to 4.4 but I feel like having the ability to keep legacy OS's will retain legacy software like Theme Editor by Levak. Im not asking for anything haha, i think the stuff you're doing here is great already i was just wondering if it would still be supported under your new ControlX.

Thanks

3.1 is fully supported by the to-be-released ControlX version.

But your hardware also has to support it.
3.1 and all other OSes older than 3.6 are not going to work on hardware revisions J+.

I had only tested on Firebird so far, but I've now confirmed on real hardware - next nBoot+ControlX version is working on TI-Nspire CM calculators :


So you can now install CX OSes and update your calculator beyond version 3.2.0.1219 !

Same installation steps as for the TI-Nspire CX, but for the moment I think I am not going to mention TI-Nspire CM in the tutorial.

Because there are some issues :

• You have to keep a Boot2 image older than 3.6 to be able to install OSes older than 3.6 (no manifest file).
  And the only CM Boot2 images we have are 3.1.0.0 and 3.1.0.16.
  The code is similar with CX Boot2 3.1.0.16, for which the ASIC patch is bad, because the ASIC code is different from all other CX Boot2 versions.
• CM calculators only have 32MiB SDRAM, and CX OSes are almost using all of them.
  Because of this, the Ndless installation is failing on CX CAS OSes 3.6-3.9.1.
  It's working on non-CAS OSes 3.6-3.9.1, which are slightly lighter.

So there are issues with both 3.6+ and <3.6 OSes.

By the way, ControlX 4.4.3 has been released.
