TI Knowledge Base
Posted by Michael on 10 May 2006, 05:25 GMT

Recently, it was brought to my attention that there exists a wonderful resource on the TI website: The knowledge base. While TI has had this previously, in the past few months they have added a great deal of useful information. Examples include required battery voltage, order of calculator release, a statement of the policy regarding ROMs and emulators, and juicy tidbits like the algorithm used to calculate the inverse of a matrix. Some of you may already be aware of this knowledge base, but it appears to me to be underutilized. This is also the only place on the TI website to find information about older or discontinued calculator models.

It's quite patchily organized and very difficult and non-friendly to navigate. You'd think the global megacorporation that is TI can put together something a little better, but hey, you work with what you have.

If you want more in-depth technical documentation, there's always the WikiTI (check URL).

WikiTI is only for the z80 series.

And now this is really BOGUS: if you're logged to education.ti.com, the KB doesn't work *AT ALL*!

I don't think there is anything stopping 68kers form placing info there, Why can't Romain Liévin hardware doc be hosted or rewritten there?

Why should it? What's wrong with SVN? If you want to change something, check it out from svn.tilp.info, make your changes and send the output of svn diff to Romain (or me, I have commit access to the entire repository too, but I'd prefer you go through Romain for hwguide changes).

I didn't say I had a good reason it should, I said there is no reason it couldn't. Really apathy is the only restriction holding back all z80 calcs from having info there.

>> What's wrong with SVN?

It seems needlessly complicated.

The linkguide is also available from ticalc.org, too.

We wouldn't stop anyone, we just don't know jack about the 68k calcs so we can't put anything there ourselves.

Well...the app is written by Oracle. So therefore one must expect to have the app be a huge and unwieldy. :-)
