It's just about connecting 3 wires - no need to know anything about electronic and I'm not an electronic dude at all either.Yes, after reflashing Boot2 3.1, installing Nlaunch, launching OS 3.1, and installing Ndless, you'll be able to run C/assembly programs and PDF/image readers.Boot2 reflashing apart, other steps only use softwares, are easy and pretty well documented online.
After you've installed Boot2 3.1 and Nlaunch, you can run either OS 3.1 or OS 3.6.You can even have both OSes together in your TI-Nspire and switch between them when needed.Check this: http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=13213&lang=enLike I said above, everything is possible
No, Boot2 3.2.4.7 is not ok for this tutorial.You need Boot2 3.1, and that's why you need to reflash it first using an USB/TTL interface first.I could see no amazon link embedded in your post.
It looks ok.
Yes but you need to be very careful where you put the 3 wires, to prevent short circuits and/or frying your calc.
@DJ Omnimaga: do you have a source about this ?
@DJ Omnimaga: do you have a source about this ?Unwanted contacts with adjacent pins happened to me many times.And it never bricked the calculator.Anyway, here's the complete process:- remove any OS using the maintenance menu (hold Doc+Enter+EE while resetting)- download a Boot2 3.1 image for the TI-Nspire CX:http://tiplanet.org/forum/archives_voir.php?id=4617- connect and secure the three Tx, Rx and GND wires to the Dock/J01 connector- install and run a compatible terminal software (like the Hyperterminal private edition coming with Windows up to Vista)- configure it with:* the right COM port (check your device manager to know which one your adapter did default to)* Baud rate = 115200* Data = 8 bit* Parity = none* Stop = 1 bit* Flow control = none - trigger the calculator Boot2 update mode be resetting while holding Doc+Enter+2(beware, they will be a timeout - just reset and try again if you're not fast enough)- from the terminal send the previously downloaded file using the Xmodem protocol- install one of the available Nlaunch packs
Here: http://ourl.ca/18458 (After the person tried the Nspire Audio player)I have to wonder if it's not a combination of this plus other things, though, such as previously running a bad Ndless program or doing a mistake with another (for example, setting Nover to dangerous AHB frequencies), then attempting to use the audio player?In February 2002, I once bricked a TI-83 Plus Silver Edition just by trying to group archived programs together through an OS 1.13/1.14 (83+SE-only) bug before. The result was random, since in one occasion it just resulted in a calc freeze, but I suspect that this bug could result in overwriting random parts of the memory including the certificate, since in the other occasion nothing could bring the calc back.
