Hello,

I wrote myself another Decoder for PX41CX & DM41X dump files. It's still in early stages and doesn't yet have the functionality of the alternatives below. I still decided to make a public release to get some feedback:

* Homepage
* Download

Do read the installation pages before downloading. Especially for Linux „Compile from source“ is the suggested method of installation. But I have prepared compile instructions for all operating system.

The code is written in Ada which ich fairly easy to read. If you have and question you can ask here or on SourceForge. The open is open for contributors. The Code uses „Design by Contract“ methodology and has 162 unit tests for extra confidence in any change you make.

Alternatives which are more mature and offer more functionality:

* PX-41CX interface ( needs Excel)
* DM41 programming tool (online only)
* HP41UC User-Code Utility for HP-41 Calculator

Regards

Martin

Hello,

I just published the first update:

Decoder output to UTF-8 for easier reading.
Changed exteneded memory output to match hp41uc-code.
Added comments for Key assignments similar to hp41uc-code.

See sample outputs below:

I don't need it yet, but just wanted to give you thumbs up for writing something in Ada!

I know that's your area, and to me it's great that you're combining Ada with HP calculators Smile

I have another update. Cleaned up the output and added key assignments to the data decoded. With the decoder is on par with the alternatives.

Programming in Ada is a real joy and with Ada 2022 it got even better. The new Design by Contract features are amazing.

@Martin - You mentioned in the thread that there are some (several?) errors in the SwissMicros conversion tool, possibly inherited from hp41uc, but regardless of where the errors came from I'd like to get them corrected.

Can you please describe (or send me) a list of all the known errors and I'll work with David to have them corrected in the near future once current projects are completed?

This applies to anyone else that may be aware of bugs in the tool, AFAICR, these have not been reported in the past, but it's possible I've missed such reports (or even forgotten - it happens).

Thanks!

There is one problem with assigned keys. The line with the ENTER key is no Key "45" or "-45". You can try this test program:

I downloaded the binary file hp41cx_tools-main for Mac.

The first issue I had is that the program is not signed by apple.
Running: xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine hp41cx_tools-main fixed the problem.

Next issue I had is when I tried to decode a PX41CX dump.
Running: ./hp41cx_tools-main -d -v NQUEENS.txt out.txt

Gave me a bunch of errors:

Yes, you are not using the newest version ?. There was a bug with double spaces which is now fixed. Your file has been added to my test suite (share/hp41cx_tools and test/share/hp41cx_tools_test)

What hasn't been fixed is the release version outputting trace data on the console. The development and validation versions don't do that.

Version 1.6.2 works on my Mac!

Suggestions:

Add a separator (e.g., a space) between multi-byte commands for improved readability.
Allow output to stdout using - (without requiring /dev/stdout).
Include an option to hide the byte commands (similar to the DM41 programming tool).

krischik · Yesterday, 03:30 PM

Hello,

Thanks for the suggestions but not all base functionality has been added. ALARM are still missing.

(Yesterday 02:50 PM)agarza Wrote: [*]Add a separator (e.g., a space) between multi-byte commands for improved readability.

There are only a few places where I can do that without breaking compatibility. Also there are key assignments and XROM commands to be considered. You can't have both without it becoming ugly.

(Yesterday 02:50 PM)agarza Wrote: [*]Allow output to stdout using - (without requiring /dev/stdout).

I was thinking about that was well. But then it should be both in and out so the executable can be used in/as a pipe.

(Yesterday 02:50 PM)agarza Wrote: [*]Allow output to stdout using - [*]Include an option to hide the byte commands (similar to the DM41 programming tool).

Once main functionality is added there will be a few switches. An optional pure Latin-1 output without Unicode characters is also on the list.

I want to make the default is the most human readable and then options for special uses.

Martin.
