Nspire touchpad maintenance menu problem
« on: January 31, 2014, 05:00:54 am »
Hi lads,

When trying to install nLaunch to try CAS OS on my non-CAS touchpad Nspire, I came upon a weird problem:

When in maintenance menu (doc + enter + EE + on), selecting option #2 (Delete Operating System) doesn't do anything. The only working options are:

#1 - Cancel
#3 - Delete documents (which results in reboot loop)
#4 - Delete all (which I tried to reinstall 3.1.0 + ndless + nsNandMgr + boot2 1.4.1571c but still having this weird problem) :banghead:

Currently, I'm running OS 3.1.0.392 + ndless with boot2 1.4.1571c. (nsNandMgr minimal OS = 3.1.0.392)

Is there some workaround to solve this frustrating situation and successfully install nLaunch?

Thx

@nspireguy Nothing happens when I try to defeat it. I downloaded ndless-​v3.​1-​beta-​r914.zip so I guess my ndless revision is r914 actually.

Maybe nlaunch somehow corrupted your boot2. Do you have access to RS232 (also helpful for log messages)?

@Vogtinator no no, I am stuck in the nlaunch installation procedure, there shouldn't be any damage caused by it as I haven't touched anything with nlaunch.tno. Unfortunately no RS-232 present at me.

But I noticed that when I revert my boot2 back to 3.1, everything works fine... but that is not a way to successfully install nlaunch I assume.

Try pressing T instead of 2.

It works because the keypad mapping in memory is different on touchpad and clickpad, and your boot2 uses the clickpad mapping even though you have a touchpad, so most keys are wrong.
