Also, we need to figure out if different HW versions impact on the success rate. e.g. Clickpad/Touchpad, CAS/non-CAS, HW version with/without power management bug...

Does the OSLauncher code clean/invalidate the caches when necessary? (e.g. after loading new code into memory)

It does not. But at least when starting a Phoenix, the caches should be pretty devoid of the code that previously existed at the loading address, shouldn't they be ?

Due to some kind of a DoS attack on that file (thousands of hits since yesterday), OSlauncher has been temporarily removed from TI-Bank.

We are sorry for any inconvenience, but will keep you informed.

If you don't mind me asking, where does the IP address of the attacker geolocate to?

Various IP all around Europe.
What is sad, is that it's probably not coming from TI, but from someone related to the community.

From the TI-BANK forum posts, the hit attack seems to have started happening before we posted our news I think, but maybe someone or a bot found the link from an older Omni news, since Omni posts a lot of news about TI-BANK stuff (It might also be why some TI-BANK news got an unusually higher amount of hits, too, especially since October).

I hope OSLauncher can be put back online soon. I wonder who could be behind this? Because it's weird that this file in particular was hit, then the Lua file.

Nonono that isn't what I implied. For the news hits I was refering to an older post on TI-BANK that is not related at all to OSLauncher: http://tibank.forumactif.com/t6823-hits-news

But yeah it's strange, hopefully it was not meant to be malicious and I hope the site isn't affected due to that. And I see, I'M glad Free got some protections about that.

In any case, it's a good idea to backup.

How do I use OSLauncher? I'm not too big of a computer programmer (only worked with TI-Basic) and couldn't find a readme for it.

Any help would be wonderful!

It should, since starting a Phoenix intilializes its own resources, same with boot1,boot2, and diags - they have there own
interrupt vector table and initialization routines.
So the DummyOS demo might encounter problems if ran at some lengthy time.

I have initialized the vector table :)
We'll have to try putting an inline version of clear_cache.

We're still improving the shell script :)

And adding a clear_cache() (locally copied) before launching the OS does not seem to make the OSLauncher more reliable ?

Inspired by Adriweb and apcalc, I've created an IRC bot to take Pastebin code and convert it to a TNS! :)
It's currently on #nspire-lua - this is how to use it:
Code: [Select]
<Lua2TNS> Lua2TNS Help | #lua2tns [Pastebin Source URL] [Output file name (like helloworld.tns, etc.)For example:
Code: [Select]
#lua2tns http://pastebin.com/bcyukaiq blockdude.tns
And you'll get back:
Code: [Select]
<Lua2TNS> alberthro: Lua2TNS | Success! :D http://withg.us.to/lua2tns/59979/blockdude.tns | All files, including logs @ http://withg.us.to/lua2tns/59979/lua2tnslog.txt
Isn't it awesome? :D
If there's enough demand (and if the admins approve), I can bring this bot to #omnimaga.
Enjoy! :)

Nice, that might be useful I think. I like how it works with pastebin.

You should add support for pastie and rafb.me, though, for when pastebin is down.
