Is they not a link to just download the files like the BETA

It worked for me.

what's your config.xml file look as this is mine.

Code:

<config>
<update_server>
    <protocol>https</protocol>
    <host>http://www.moravia-parts.com</host>
    <!--<host>15.1.152.155</host>-->
    <port>80</port>
    <folder>/hp-prime</folder>
    <file>update.xml</file>
</update_server>
<options>
    <debug>0</debug>
</options>
</config>

Ah, when I posted the url for the host, it automatically became a hyperlink. I updated that post to remove the hyperlink.

The host tag should not contain http:// , so it should be this:

Code:

<host>www.moravia-parts.com</host>

Here's my config file, in case anyone just wants to replace theirs.

Thanks, I was wondering about that part since it was stated in the <protocal>

When is it expected to get the official update?

that should already be the case. But with Moravia, you shouldn't be surprised by anything.

I’m still getting the help for TEXTOUT for TEXTSIZE.
Perhaps the next update can address some of the mistakes in the help section as well as a few typos

Not super important but would be nice to see.

The revised documentation has not been included in this firmware release; work on it is still ongoing...

Version 2.2 firmware updates for the HP Prime G1 and the HP Prime G2 are now available for download using the HP Prime Connectivity Kit.

The long awaited moment is here, the officially released firmware is available for download via the Connectivity Kit.

I was able to download the new firmware via the macOS CK by following these steps:

1. Right click on the "HP Connectivity Kit" app (in finder)
2. Click Show Package Contents
3. Open Content/Resources/config.xml
4. Change the host to
   Code:
   

   www.moravia-parts.com
5. Change the folder to
   Code:
   

   /hp-prime
6. Open the CK and Check for update
   

I’ve done exactly that, using TextEdit to edit the XML file. When I check for updates, I get an “Expected character data” error message, referring to the config.xml file. Should I be using something other than TextEdit on it?

I happened to use Xcode to save the updated file. You can also try replacing the config file with the one in this reply.

For whatever reason, your file worked. I have Xcode installed (I’m a Mac/IOS developer), but it wasn’t one of the options under “Open With” when I right-clicked the config file.

The issue was probably TextEdit, I think by default it saves files in the Rich Text Format. I ran into a similar issue recently when I was writing a script that expected a txt file, I used TextEdit but didn't change the file format.

textedit worked fine for me. it should save in whatever format the file was originally in. It does RTF only if you are creating a new file.

No offense to any poster (including this one), but this plays in my head whenever I see a question like this

Wrong answer.
In the past, it was common practice for HP to deliver the Virtual Calculator with the computer firmware (often at the same time).
It would certainly be very welcome if Moravia continued this practice.

[RPNerd]

An update of the Android app would also be very welcome. The version on my phone is the beta from May 2021 with version 2.1.14591.

It's true, the HP Prime Android app is the most outdated version. Even the Virtual Calculator is from 2023, but on Android, it really seems that the development is abandoned.

I hope the dear developers update those apps (Virtual Calculator, Connectivity Kit, and Android app).

For Windows, version 2.2 of the HP Prime Virtual Calculator is available, but updating is not directly possible in the HP Prime Virtual Calculator program as the domain name for the update server was changed (i.e., where the HP Prime Virtual Calculator goes to look for updates). To update to 2.2,

• one can download the new version from https://updates.moravia-consulting.com/
  

or

• one can edit the config.xml file so that the new domain name (& path) for the update server is used.
  

Editing the config.xml file is only possible if an older version is already installed. The config.xml file is typically at C:\Program Files\HP\HP Prime Virtual Calculator or C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\HP Prime Virtual Calculator. To update using this approach, that file should be modified to be as follows:

Code:

<config>
  <update_server>
    <protocol>https</protocol>
    <host>updates.moravia-consulting.com</host>
    <port>80</port>
    <folder></folder>
    <file>update.xml</file>
  </update_server>
  <options>
    <debug>0</debug>
  </options>
</config>

Using notepad is one way to do this. (The file must remain a plain text file.) What has changed is the text content in the "host" and "folder" elements. (If editing the config.xml file: launch the HP Prime Virtual Calculator program after making the change and then check for updates from within the HP Prime Virtual Calculator.)

Similarly with the HP Connectivity Kit.
