The basic things that you have to type on the calculator once everything has been setup are:

Code:

CMOPEN         // open up the communication channel
"*"            // scan all Flash space for outdated ROMs
FLCHK?         // do the scanning process (take around 3 hours on the v5 board)
"*"            // update all outdated ROMs marked by FLCHK?
FLUPD          // do the update process (should not take much time since your v5 is almost up to date)
CMCLOSE        // close communication channel

...

You typed: java -jar clupdate-1.1.0.jar --update rom_files_171202.zip /dev/tty.usbserial 4800
Result:

FYI: each time you see a closing parenthesis ")" a ROM image has been checked.
You have 1024 images to check on a v5 board, a new line is created after 32 ROMs has been checked, so expect 32 KEEP_ALIVE lines before the scanning ends.

Is this all I have to do?

Yes for the moment.

After the scanning is finished, you must do the actual update by typing: "*" then XEQ "FLUPD"

After the update is finished, you must close the communication by typing: XEQ "CMCLOSE"

I do not know, I have to check, I will come back later with the answer.

Edit 1 & 2: typos / 3: FLUPD was misspelled
