Update HP Prime
Greetings,
What is the best way to convert to the latest firmware? Where are the steps for the procedure to update the HP Prime calculator from a windows 10 computer? Thanks - Cheers! |

RE: Update HP Prime
Just install the connectivity kit that came on the CD with the HP Prime. It will start by updating itself to the latest version. It will then offer to download the latest firmware and you'll be able to flash it to the HP Prime then.
If you don't have the CD then you can download the latest connectivity kit directly from here: http://ftp.ftp.hp.com/pub/calculators/Prime The cable to use to connect your Prime to your PC is a straightforward microUSB cable that supports data transmission (some cheap cables advertised as "charging" cables lack the data lines and only transport the 5V DC). |

RE: Update HP Prime
Note that I believe the FTP protocol is being turned off completely end of March, so only direct links will work after that.

RE: Update HP Prime
Direct links to the files will still work, you just can't "browse" the directory like ftp allows.

RE: Update HP Prime
They will not function any more.
Code: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/calculators/Prime/HP_Prime_Connectivity_Kit_20180212.exe will function The FTP protocol support will be turned off as it is insecure. Note the first link uses http as the protocol. [EDIT] https will also work TW Although I work for HP, the views and opinions I post here are my own. |

Furthermore, if the files being served are digitally signed (I assume they are, at least for the executables), then the security of the transport layer is mostly irrelevant. Either unencrypted HTTP will get the axe later on, or FTP is being disabled for being a royal pain and/or falling into disuse. Removing FTP just for being "insecure" while leaving unencrypted HTTP wide open suggests to me somebody either didn't think this through or just applied cargo cult security. |

RE: Update HP Prime
The correct direct link is a normal link to the exact file - with an exact file name. FTP can browse a directory and list content. HTML cannot.
I can't give you what the "direct link" is because it will be different for each file. For the past 2-3 times I've posted the "New Version" message on this forum I have been posting a direct link to the specific files directly.
