SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE 41CL ***SOLVED*** - yann - 03-27-2024 09:12 AM

Hi, I just updated the 41CL to the new rom_files_240325.zip.
The entire update did not cause any kind of problems.
I upgrade using the 9PRG MMU, which contains the YUPS module.
Once the update is finished, I try to go back to my 9CFA:
I run XEQ MMUDIS
The "terrible answer" I get is NON EXISTENT.
I think the update had a problem and I run XEQ YRES,
hoping to get a basic system, but as soon as I try to install YFNX, here is the real "cold shower":
the answer I get is NO IMDB!!!
How can I solve this problem?

Thank you very much!

How are you installing YFNX, with PLUG1U? Did you try an MMU clear?

from my notes:

Code:

XEQ YRES             # disable MMU; from TMOD
XEQ MMU?             # ensure MMU is disabled; if not, try backspace-ON and repeat
XEQ MMUCLR           # initialise MMU registers in RAM
"YFNX" XEQ PLUG1U    # plug YFNX to port 1 upper, page 9
XEQ MMUEN            # enable MMU
XEG PLUG
   ?IMG ?            # check ROM page layout; should show: YFNX 9

I just updated one of my 41CLv5 to the same version as you and I get the same result.
It seems that there is a problem with the latest IMDB.ROM file, I will post a workaround soon.

Hello Yann,

The following procedure will downgrade your 41CL to the 2024-03-05 package.
  • 41CL Calculator Manual, section "Plug into Port/Unplug from Port Functions" (p.24 to p29) describe how to map a ROM image with its page address
  • 41CL Memory Reference allow you to map the IMDB ID to/from its Flash page address
  • download the previous archive file: rom_files_240305.zip
  • plug the serial port between the 41CL and your computer
  • start the clupdate program with the previous archive file (rom_files_240305.zip)
  • 41CL: configure without IMDB
    Code:
    MMUDIS
    MMUCLR
    "00A-RAM"   // YFNX address in Flash
    PLUG1L
    "062-RAM"   // YUPS address in Flash
    PLUG1U
    MMUEN
    CAT 2       // ... "-YFNX 4C" ... "UPDAT 4D" ...
  • 41CL: downgrade
    Code:
    CMOPEN
    CPONLY
    "*"
    FLCHK?
    FLUPD
    CDBEXP      // update list should be empty
    CMCLOSE
  • 41CL: validation & cleanup
    Code:
    FDBVER?     // 03/05/2024
    CDBDEL
    MMUDIS
    MMUCLR
  • PLUG functions should now works with IMDB names

I just uploaded a revised rom_files_240325.zip with IMDB.ROM and IMDB_V2.ROM repaired. It "should" be okay now. Sorry about that. It has been a while since I edited the image database and I accidentally made a bad edit.

Many thanks for your help. Everything went well.
Only little problem, I didn't find the CDEXP instruction, but the CDBEXP instruction and I used it.
Unfortunately in an attempt to solve the problem, before asking you for help, I sent the 41CL to memory clear, so now I have to reinstall everything! But I'm happy to see that even problems that seem difficult to solve are solved quite easily on 41CL!!!
With best regards.
Yann

Thanks again for the help.

Sorry for the typo, but you found the instruction I meant.
