They should offer the old layout as an optional purchase, along with their other ones. it looks key-compatible.

I've finally connected my TI-Phoenix 1 to my RS232 interface, and got the oldest Nspire bootlog! :D

The Boot1 is not a boot1 from TI. It's the free U-Boot 1.1.2 !!!

The Boot2 is from TI and takes much time as it does install the OS on each reboot, like on the P1-EVT2.

At the end of the boot, the Datalight command shel is active and let you discover the file system.


Have fun reading:

Well, that's pretty interesting. Since the Boot1 on this device is open source, it means we can analyse it?

We would first have to dump it in order to be able to analyse it...

Nothing has ever been dumped on a CAS+ for now.

Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
Is it possible to press a key before this counts down to 0, and get into the U-Boot Monitor shell? It has a command md addr len to display memory contents. There also may be a command nand read addr ofs size to read NAND flash into memory (also nand read.oob addr off size to read the extra "out-of-band" 16 bytes per page)

Edit: Unfortunately TI probably set the delay to 0 seconds, which would make it impossible unless CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined (and it isn't in the default include/configs/omap5912osk.h)

I can see the countdown but it's very fast.
I tried to press a key but it didn't trigger anything. I'll try again... Thanks.

it might want a signal over serial to trigger it. Just a thought.

Good point. Looking at the U-Boot source code, both input and output default to serial (and it's unlikely TI would change the input to be the calc keypad while leaving the output as is).

Try press and hold the space bar on the Hyperterminal side while rebooting, to see if that
brings up the U-Boot shell.

i just noticed something (thanks to levak's clipboard dumper),
this is a part of the data that is used to copy the lua files to readable files for the software, and look at the name Ö:

Yes, the code name of the early prototypes remains at a number of places in production models :)
The second generation of Nspires, i.e. the CX (and probably CM, they're just stripped-down CX), has the "Firebird" code name. Once in a while, we may see that name pop up somewhere.
