BTW, can ExtendeD make the key sequence a little more clear in the tutorial? I think it would help others than just me.

http://ndlessly.wordpress.com/ndless-troubleshooting/ mentions the Doc+Enter+EE combo for the CX in section "The TI-Nspire falls into a reboot loop". You have problably read section "The TI-Nspire hangs at reboot time" . Do you have any suggestions to make this clearer?

Maintenance is easier with autonomous owners and components with their own lifecycle.
And using static libraries is just a matter of dropping files in directories and adding an -l switch to the Makefile.
So I prefer the way it is today :)

To contribute to its promotion: nspireio is being used by OCD (On-Calc Debugger).
It's easy to use and really deserve trying it.
As compu told me just switch to grayscale mode for CX compatibility (if(has_colors) {clrscr(); lcd_ingray();}).

How frequently is it written to NAND? Writing it to frequently would wear it excessively.

When you launch nclock =)
It reads the config file where all the stuff needed is stored, as well as the backuped clock.
But when is it backed up?

Two things :
 - the RTC value is not reseted when the calc crashed (and still continue working even on the booting time). It resets only when you use the reset button.
 - nClock just stores the last saved RTC value and ask if the time is correct on boot. But most of the time, since the RTC is not reseted, it is useless

How frequently is it written to NAND? Writing it to frequently would wear it excessively.

Ndless / Re: General Ndless Questions and Support
« on: April 09, 2012, 04:09:28 am »
I don't think so. A global variable ("saved_lr") is used, I don't know how this could be changed (see ints.c).
Are you trying to call a syscall from a callback passed to another one?

If you could send me the ELF file you're trying to link, I can take a look at it for you.

Here it is, I'm just trying to troubleshoot this: http://ourl.ca/14975/294135

That's really weird, it works perfectly on my machine.

I added some extra debugging lines into the latest commit. Could you check it out and recompile and see where it conks out?

I'm now getting:
ELF: call to elf_begin() failed
makeself.exe: Unable to parse ELF file "testlibm.elf"

Tell me if you want more tests, or maybe you now prefer to invest efforts on the bflt loader.

Excellent! I'll test this as soon as possible.

« on: April 02, 2012, 01:55:05 pm »
It's currently not yet possible, but it hopefully will. The most difficult part is to extract all the dependencies of the driver (for example mass storage also requires SCSI, FAT32, ...)

And here is an early preview of the USB support: http://ndlessly.wordpress.com/2012/03/31/usb-hacking/

I have just looked into it, really nice, it needs more promotion :) This should be part of the toolkit of anyone beginning native programming on the TI-Nspire.
You should release it as an archive file. And I'm really expecting CX compatibility.

There seems to have been changes in the menus of the latest Eclipse CDT version for this option, could you please check if this helps? http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/NewIn80#C.2FC.2B.2B_Remote_Application_launch

We are also planning to update Ncubate with Ndless v3.1 compatiblity.

The bFLT loader in Linux and QEMU, and the ELF -> bFLT converters, are full-featured, open source, standard and maintainable, and explicitly support dynamic, shared libraries :)

But if several TI-Nspire specific patches need to be a applied, the maintenance burden won't be lighter than a lightweight relocator written from scratch.
And I'm not sure these currently a real need for dynamic libraries support.

nSDL / Re: nSDL (0.1.4 beta)
« on: March 31, 2012, 04:15:52 am »
I've looked closer if anything could be done for the relocation issue. Global variables containing data which need to be relocated are stored in the 'data.rel' section of the ELF file, but this doesn't mean we can blindly relocate anything in this section, since there may also be fields not to be relocated. The relocation info cannot be emitted to the binary file and the current Ndless relocator cannot do much about it.

I'd like to see if tangrs's relocator ( http://ourl.ca/15714 ) would fix all these issues.
