[TI-H] Re: Serial Link + Calc Freeze = ?




go to
http://epsstore.ti.com/webs/EULA.asp?sku=530&type=unlimited&os=windows
download base112.8xu
open it in a text editor
the first line will start with **TIFL** and a bunch of stuff.  if you
remove up to (but not including) the :, the rest of the file is pretty
much in intel hex format.  (you can find info on intel hex all over the
place, it'll pretty much tell you the same stuff as this message)

the first two lines are then
:17000000800F0000000080110480210180310C80A0807F0000000047
:00000001FF

":00000001FF" marks the end of a file/section.  remove these two lines.
near the end of the file, there are two more lines like this separating a
small section, which is probably important.  remove everything after the
first remaining ":...01FF" line.

each line like this
:nnxxxx0200##dd
marks the beginning of a rom page.  ## is the hex value of the page
number.  dd is a checksum.  (nn will be 02 for 2 bytes, xxxx will be all
zeros because that field isn't used)

each line like this
:nnxxxx00################################################################
dd
encodes nn (hex) data bytes.  xxxx tells you the address on the page
where this data goes (remember, most pages start at $4000), ## is data,
and dd is a checksum.

it's possible to write a qbasic program to convert this format to binary.
 iirc, it doesn't quite work unfortunately.  probably something to do
with those two sections that i said to delete.  good luck.

(useless, i know, but probably the only remotely legal way of obtaining
an image for vti that doesn't require a working link cable.)
