[41CL] updating OS modules

[cdmackay]

hi Pat,

If you want to update the OS pages separately, then you could either:


• do as I did above; i.e. update as normal, which won't update the four OS pages, since OSUPDT wasn't executed.

Then, perform the extra steps I note in Post: #5, above, under "Here's what I did instead…"

This would be required if you intend to leave a gap between the non-OS, and OS, page updates.

Or, if you intend to do them one immediately after the other:


• update as normal, which won't update the four OS pages, since OSUPDT wasn't executed. clupdate will tell you that there are still four outdated pages.

Then, without exiting clupdate on the PC, or doing anything else on the 41CL:

XEQ ON
XEQ OSUPDT
XEQ FLUPD

This method should work, as long as you haven't updated the in-RAM CFLDB using FLCHK? If you have restarted clupdate, you may need to first CMOPEN, then CDBEXP, to send the in-RAM CFLDB to the restarted clupdate (at least, in order for clupdate to be able to tell you there are outdates pages; it may not be required for the FLUPD).

You can add OSPROT, to disable OS updates again, but this is done automatically on turning OFF/ON, so I didn't put it in above.


In either case, ensure you have fresh batteries before updating OS pages.
