Yes. Unsurprisingly, he made something that was both faster and more accurate than TI's work.

Hey, I set up a channel on IRC for project discussion. It's #knightos at irc.freenode.net. Feel free to hang out there if you want to keep up with the project or ask questions.

Hi there! Dropping by to give you folks a quick update on KnightOS progress.

TI-73 and TI-83+ builds are fixed
KnightOS no longer uses spasm, but instead uses a purpose-built assembler called sass
Can now build from source on Linux and Mac
Rewrote README to be clearer and more informative - Link

Salut à tous! Ce message pour vous donner une mise à jour rapide des progrès sur KnightOS.

Les TI-73 et TI-83 + builds sont réparés
KnightOS n'utilise plus spasm, mais utilise à la place un assembleur construit à cet effet, appelé sass
Pouvez maintenant compiler depuis les sources sur Linux et Mac
Réécriture README pour être plus clair et plus informatif - Lien

Wow, great, you did it yourself ? O_o

But I have some problems to send it to a real 84pse with TI-Connect.
I will try with TILP.

EDIT: hehe, and I've found a bug:

That's not a good bug

Which calculator model are you emulating, and what were you doing before you opened the terminal? Did you just press enter or some other key to trigger the bug? Edit: Oh, you pressed left arrow, didn't you? Known bug.

Yeah, the assembler is here.

But I have some problems to send it to a real 84pse with TI-Connect.

What kind of problems? It's running on my 84+ SE fine. Were there any errors given? Did you send over USB or Silverlink? I've successfully tested the latest version on a TI-73, TI-84+, and TI-84+ SE.

Good work !

my question is, when will you begin to implement the math editor and others stuff ?

I tried with both SilverLink and DirectLink (USB), no errors, but the calc doesn't do anything, and TI-Connect stays with a popup saying "Upgrading the device please wait..."
I don't have the screen "Receiving calculator software.... X%".

I will try with TILP.
And yes, I pressed the left arrow.

As soon as the kernel is mostly done, I'll be turning my attention towards the userspace OS (i.e. the math editor and stuff). I'll also be spending some time adding TI-84+ CSE support, which will take a while, and will slow down other progress. To finish the kernel, I need to change the filesystem to a block based one (for better concurrent write support) and make it writable, as well as a few outstanding problems (like libraries never being unloaded correctly), and some more vanity features. Once that's done, I'll start working on more utilities (unix-like commands, text editor, file browser, etc), and math tools will follow shortly.

Hmm, that sounds like a problem with TI-Connect. Are you able to send the stock OS to your calculator?
