I made a blog post about installing Debian on an Nspire CX: https://ivoah.net/blog/2016/03/20/how-to-install-debian-on-a-ti-nspire/


EDIT: fixed typo in address

Fixed the link

Fixed, for some reason the no-IP Dynamic Updater isn't working

Try in a couple of minutes, it takes a bit for No-IP to update

I did just paste the address, I guess Omni added a [url] tag. I fixed the original post

Oh ok, well that's weird

Anyway it works now. And it seems clear enough to me (even though I just read, not tried). I'd just maybe add for all steps how much time they take. Not necessarily with exact numbers (which would depend on the computer and the connexion), but at least if a step is a lot longer than others, maybe precise it so that people who follow the tutorial don't wait in front of the computer during ten minutes ]Oh ok, well that's weird

edit weird, it added a url tag to my post too

So, is it now possible to run a full linux installation, with GUI and such included, on an nspire CX? Or is it a lightweight command-line only version?

Now that the mainline kernel supports the TI-Nspire along with all its peripherials and we have a decent bootloader for it, it's theorically possible to install pretty much every Linux distro that supports ARM. It's pretty easy to build a filesystem with the ARM version of Arch Linux with pacman and load it in your Nspire and it would theorically work. If I had a Nspire I'd definitely try that out.
