============================== Ndless v2.0 for TI-Nspire ==============================What is it?===========Ndless combines an executable loader and utilities to open the TI-Nspire to third-party C and assembly development.As a TI-Nspire user, installing Ndless on your calculator will enhance the Operating System with the functions required to run assembly programs until the next reboot.What do I need to install it on a TI-Nspire?============================================- A TI-Nspire CAS or non-CAS- OS v1.7, v2.0.1 or v2.1.0 installed on it. v2.0.0 is not supported, you should update your OS.- Any linking program such as TI-Nspire Computer Link SoftwareHow do I install it?====================First locate the file 'ndless_installer_os-<version>.tns' in the calcbin/ directory of Ndless where <version> matches the OS version currently installed on the calculator.Send this file along with the file 'ndless_resources.tns' to any directory of the calculator. Make sure that the name of the target directory doesn't contain any special characters such as '.'. The two documents must be in the same directory.Unplug the calculator from the computer (trust us, it is important).Open 'ndless_installer' from the Documents screen of the calculator and wait a few seconds. Now: - The calculator may display a popup about the success of the installation. That's it! The installation is not permanent: you need to reinstall Ndless after each reboot. - The calculator may display a frozen clock and possibly 1, 2 or 3 vertical bars of random pixels on the screen. You are out of luck, the installation failed. The TI-Nspire may reboot by itself after a few seconds. If not, force a reboot by unplugging the USB cable if plugged in, then removing and putting back a battery. Retry the installation again. If you can't install Ndless after multiple attempts, jump to the section 'Installation problem report' below.How do I install it on nspire_emu/Ncubate?==========================================Use the "connect" command of the emulator, then send 'ndless_installer.tns' and 'ndless_resources.tns' from the calcbin/ directory to any directory of the emulated calculator.Open 'ndless_installer' from the Documents screen of the calculator and wait a few seconds for the installation.If the installation makes the calculator hang or reboot, retry the installation on a OS image that has just been created.How do I upgrade from v1.7?===========================First follow the uninstallation steps below, then the installation steps above.How do I run an executable?===========================Executables have the extension .tns as standard documents.- Transfer the executable with a linking program to any folder of the TI-Nspire - Run the executable from the Documents screenYou may try the particles demo available in the calcbin/samples/ directory.Programs built for Ndless v1.0/v1.1 won't work with this version until they are updated by their authors.How do I uninstall it?======================Make sure the documents 'ndless_installer.tns' and 'ndless_resources.tns' are still in the same directory on the calculator.Then open 'ndless_installer' from the Documents screen. A full reboot will be initiated.Troubleshooting===============- If the TI-Nspire becomes unusable, hangs or loops at reboot time: * Reboot the TI-Nspire, by unplugging the USB cable, then removing and putting back a battery. * Enter the maintenance menu by turning it on while holding the following keys until half the progress bar: with the ClickPad keypad: Home+Enter+P then ON with the TouchPad keypad: Doc+Enter+EE then ON * Select '2' to uninstall the current OS. Reinstall it when asked to.- If running an executable from the documents screen displays the following message: "Sorry. Could not open document 'xxx.tns'", Ndless has not been correctly installed. Run 'ndless_installer' again after a reboot.Known issues============A more complete list of known isues can be found in the tracker:http://www.unsads.com/projects/nsptools* The installation confirmation message may not be displayed in some configuration. An error about the document format being not supported is displayed instead.* The installation may crash when ndless-installer is run from the directory MyLib/.Support and suggestions=======================Forum: http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?board=136.0Issues and enhancements tracker: http://www.unsads.com/projects/nsptoolsGeneral TI-Nspire hacking wiki: http://hackspire.unsads.comDevelopment version of the source code: https://www.unsads.com/scm/svn/nsptools/Ndless/trunk (guest/guest)Installation problem report===========================First make sure:- You are using the right 'ndless_installer_os-<version>.tns' file compatible with the Operating System (OS) version currently installed on your calculator- You have followed the steps in the troubleshooting section above- You don't find a solution on the web sites aboveThen count if you can:- the number of vertical bars of random pixels which appear at the top of the screen at installation time- The number of dotted lines which appear at the bottom of the screenE-mail this with anything which might help the authors to fix the issue.Developing for the TI-Nspire============================Development information and resources are available on Hackspire: http://hackspire.unsads.comJoin the community now!Upgrading your developments and scripts=======================================The executable format, the conventions and the header files are currently being defined and prone to change.
