On that note, does anyone know what TI uses in its routines to generate the certificate files?

Also, I had a thought: if the OS doesn't check the Emulator's files (like the save state) then perhaps with ndless we could install our own ROM in it!

We might be able to fake it, as in run a program that acts like an OS, but is really running under Ndless.

RunOS?

And awesome, great how it's so small so far. An idea to make it even smaller: Move the VAT to RAM (but not the files) ;D J/k.

The disadvantage of those is the space issue. That's my main complaint with the Nspire OS (besides asm support of course) is the huge size the OS takes up.

Can we even fit two Nspire OSes on one calc?

"Update
I haven't really been working that much on KnightOS. You may have noticed my aversion to deadlines with this project. Because of this, I have decided that on Janurary 1st, 2011, I will be releasing the KnightOS Developer Beta. It will not have a lot of the functionality of the final OS, but it will be done to the point that developers can start working on it."
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! 2 more months :(

Did you honestly think that it would be done in less time?

Right now, yes we can.  This is actually how the OS updates work.  It sends the new OS to a /temp folder, then once the OS is validated, it installs that OS and deletes the old one (I think).

As the OS sizes keep getting bigger, there might come a time where we can't even upgrades our OS because of this. :(

That seems like a terrible system when TI keeps adding samples and languages and other stuff to the OS.

They should have you choose your language on the site. That way, you save a ton of space. I would estimate 1/5 or more of the OS is localization stuff. For all I care, then they could have the samples, because they would take up all of 15k, and be easily deleted.

And Sir, he was referring to the Pandora's infamous "two more months" streak. They broke, what, 50 deadlines?

Yup. :)

j/k an OS project is a huge undertaking so it can take a long while. From what I saw, you are doing pretty great, though, so I am confident that you'll eventually finish it and not in several years. I hope you manage to get it to work fine on all calc models. What has caused the crash on Raylin calc, btw?

I do believe that the number of pages was reported incorrectly, so it assumed there were 14 pages instead of 2.  It never bricked his calc, just deleted the tios in order to install kos which didn't install correctly.  Hence an OS-less calc, not a bricked one.

It probably wouldn't work anyway, there are apparently other problems that I need to fix.

Does KOS support USB keyboards? And if it does, are other keyboard layouts than US supported?

Probably, and I don't own any of those keyboards.  Localization will come last, but it is a priority.

It shouldn't be too hard to add support for other keyboards later anyways, right? As far as I understand, it's just a different mapping. (Unless you're typing in certain other languages, like chinese)
