Ti Nspire Memory Capacity
« on: October 12, 2014, 01:32:53 pm »
Well, I tried to move some large files and the calc ran out of memory in the file system. After removing some files and rebooting the calc, it said the Total memory capcity was 115.2 MB. Normally the Nspire CX should have a total of 150 MB. Is there any way to get them back? I've already tried deleting all files and reinstalling the OS, with the side effect, that (nlaunch doesn't work any longer for some reason)
At the time this happened I had ndless 3.6 and nlaunch installed. Maybe these have something to do with the reduced memory?
This is what it looks like in the status menu:

The whole flash is 132MiB large, boot2, diags and OS account for the 17MB difference.
"Storage Available" is the free space on the filesystem partition, you're using 30MB somehow.

Well it was 150MB before it ran out of memory. But if it's in use, how can I free it again? I've already deleted all files with the maintenance menu and it didn't change anything.The 30MB in use is probably the OS, nlaunch and ndless together.

It always said 150MB of storage capacity before, but I just researched on that and the official value is indeed 100MB. I'll have a look at another cx tomorrow. At the moment I'm just confused  :/

OK, just compared it with another cx and it has the same amount of storage capacity as my cx. Seems like I just confused something, because I was certain, that it had a storage capacity of 150MB.  ::) I even made nlaunch work again. so there seems to be no problem any longer.

Ah that's strange, because when the CX was announced, there were lot of posts all over the web saying that it had 64 MB of RAM and 100 MB of Flash and some even claimed it had 64 MB of user Flash. But I guess it's good that it has more. Then at least, if it's advertised at 100 MB then the user won't be (as) disappointed when he opens the package then try to load Ndless and several large programs on his calc.
