On a side note, the clupdate program showed 13 pages out-of-date, not 14.

Cheers

The update instructions marked 14 pages as out-of-date. You missed one.
Probably one of the adjacent pages, where you are supposed to do two
XEQ "PGINV" in a row.

I thought I did. But I apparently missed one then...
Should I go through the whole process again?

You can either go through the process again or check each of the pages individually.
It's probably easier just to go through the process again.

I did, but it’s not working.
The first YPOKE

"830AC2-0150"
XEQ YPOKE

Returns DATA ERROR.

Enter the hex again. DATA ERROR means what is in ALPHA is not the right format or
not hexadecimal.

My bad. Everything is fine.

Do I have to redo the update every time I mess around and want to reset the calc by doing a MEMORY LOSS?

No. The changes are permanent. Your 41CL is up-to-date, at least until more
.rom files are added or new updates are released.

Awesome. Thank you!!!!

FYI, clupdate v1.1.0 with v5 support is coming along quite nicely.
The code is complete, everything works, I am currently testing edge cases.

You’re doing an awesome job, really!

Every time I perform an update (just done a couple) I cannot forget to thank (never will be enough) Sylvain for his big contribute, Monte and everybody on this site who shared their personal experience and gave useful advices.
thank-you again

You are welcome!

The biggest thanks part, by far, should go to Monte who created the 41CL , the YFN? ROMs, the update ROM and so many other things. THANK YOU!

And just to keep the machine well oiled, a set of 14 updated modules is about to be released - maintenance releases? Yes and no, an updated Auto-Complete Navigator and the new "Universal Execute" are coming, allowing access to the sub-functions in the listings, as well as direct execution by NAME of any function *and* sub-function across the bus. - That is, knowing the individual launchers on each module won't be necessary anymore.

So get psyched!

I really do not know where you find the time to get so much done, you must be living in another space-time continuum.

THANK YOU Ángel for having created, keeping improving & creating new mind blowing modules.

Hi

I purchased in January 2017 a V4 board. I had it installed by Jose Gonzalez (at the same time I got a Time module from him, very good service) in October 2017 and I didn't had the time to play with it, until yesterday... I decided to try to update it, and everything was such easy, that sometimes I even think the calculator was cheating me.

What follows are the first steps in my learning experience. I hope others can benefit of it.

I used Ubuntu 16.04LTS almost clean and I followed the excellent pdf by Sylvain Côté

41CL FLASH UPDATE

Before that I read a bunch of messages and I followed this PDF, with two small additions, changes I'll mention later.

I downloaded clupdate-1.1.0.zip and rom_files_181228.zip from 41CL Calculator File Area

To my surprise the content was not as described in Sylvain's pdf... in particular there was no UPDAT-2B.ROM ...

I installed Oracle JDK (which includes JRE) using the "Ubuntu way".

Code:


$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

And I followed Sylvain's pdf instructions, with inputs from several messages...

I added the TURBO 50
I uploaded UPDAT-4A.ROM (Instead of UPDAT-2B.ROM). This was the part in which I was less confident... I didn't get the clear idea that I was doing it well...

I used a USB 2.0 to RS232 DB9, UGREEN Serial RS232 Adapter and the serial cable I purchased from Daryl at the same time.

Linux recognized the adapter without any problem. I had to search with dmesg the /dev/tty the kernel had given to the serial interface, in my case /dev/ttyUSB0.

Please note that the device file cannot be used by standard users... Instead of adding my user to the dialout group or changing the permissions I did use sudo. This can be very probably considered a bad practice...

Code:


edu@Narsill:~/clupdate$ sudo java -jar clupdate-1.1.0.jar --upload UPDAT-4A.ROM /dev/ttyUSB0 4800

edu@Narsill:~/clupdate$

The calculator showed UPD DONE.

I continued with Sylvain's instructions closing the communications and setting up MMU.

And that was all... at least that's what I thought...

Later, a user discovered that the first three modules weren't updated. In fact it's correct... you can notice in the previous list excerpts with a -> that the YFNX-4C.ROM module is the 4th to be discovered to be outdated but the first one to be updated.

The first three modules, NUT0-N, TIME-3A, and YFNZ-4F are part of the operating system and as such write-protected and aren't updated.

The solution is to execute OSUPDT before FLUPD to remove the protection and after the update OSPROT to restore protection. Original explanation can be found here: http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-120...#pid109967

There is a new feature which gets installed in this update in the 41CL Update Functions (YUPS module, in fact in UPDAT-4A.ROM) which improves dramatically the speed of scan time. Read all the comments, including situations in which this could cause problems here http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-120...#pid109837.

Thank you to Monte and Sylvain for your work and members of the forum for your help...

Now I only need to decide to "play/learn" with it, by preparing a good configuration and reading much from 41CL manuals and HP41-DVD...

I tried to follow without success Gene Wright's recommendations in:

HHC 2015 HP 41CL update

In particular I get stuck in configuration 1, in step 12: XEQ HEPINI, trying to get the "A" into the prompt... Any clue?

Best regards and thank you for your time.

Eduardo/EA2BAJ

PD: If somebody wants the full log, just send me a private message.
PD2: It some of comments or conclusions are dangerous, just let me know.
PD3: Perhaps having Sylvain's PDF updated in HHC would be very helpful...

Hi and Happy New Year 2019! Best Wishes to all!!

Is there a list, somewhere..., of changes from updates to updates? It is always with great pleasure that I see and update popping up. But, except for new added modules, what are the updates/upgrades, bug fixes and what not, to already existing modules??

Maybe I don’t know where to look...?

Thank you all.

You can list the ROM changes by comparing two rom_files_YYMMDD.zip files (available HERE)

Example:

Code:

java -jar clupdate-1.1.0.jar --diff rom_files_181202.zip rom_files_181228.zip

If you want what has changes for a specific ROM, you have to read the release notice or the user manual for that specific ROM, if it exist.

Thank you Sylvain.

Hi,

Just to let you guys know that the latest update has a glitch.

2 of the updated modules do not get installed on the machine.

TIME-3A.ROM
NUT0-N.ROM

Cheers
