Ndless 1.7 Update; Ncubate Released
Posted by Travis on 4 December 2010, 14:59 GMT

Ndless 1.7 has just made its way into the file archives. This update features OS 1.7 compatibility and the ability to perform calculator-to-calculator installation without a computer.

Olivier Armand (“ExtendeD”) has also released Ncubate, an enhanced version of Goplat's nspire_emu which adds save states and support for the GNU GDB C debugger.

Awesome! I should downgrade to 1.7 at one point since I don't really need 2.0.1.

I wonder how long it is until TI removes OS 1.7 from their site now. :(

Fortunately I've already got a copy, should I ever get an Nspire.

I suppose I should add- see the URL under my name for links to download 1.7 from TI's site directly (And the 2.x OSes).

You shouldn't have given then that idea, it's gone, now...

Just kidding, although I wouldn't be surprised if they removed it or disallowed hotlinking

I don't have a copy, when I need one I'll get from someone.

They will definitely add a OS 2.x or 3.x release soon blocking ndless 1.7. They will figure out how (should take them a week) and then remove :(

I don't think TI will respond that quickly. The next OS Update is due in March (T^3 Conference). Honestly, I think the fact that OS 2.0 being released a week after Ndless 1.0 was a mere coincidence, considering that that was also T^3 time.

One thing I do fear is that TI will remove OS 1.7 from their servers soon.

That could indeed happen, I already got a copy in case that happens. However, only programmers are getting copies :S

I wouldn't be worried about the OS's. search on yahoo for "ti nspire os" and there is a link to get any os you need.

OMG, how much longer until we can have a Ti-Nspire that is loaded with the newest OS and ndless (ssshhh!) ?

Lol, I hope that Ti doesn't play the same "cat-and-mouse game" as Apple did with the os of the ipod, ipad and iphone. "Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it..."

Still pretty awesome.

By the way...

Shouldn't Ti be happy someone is developing something like Ndless for free? It will make their calculators more versatile and more people be more likely to buy one.

Also, would it be possible to make a C/C++ compiler/IDE for the ti-nspire (oncalc) that could edit C/C++ files and compile directly from C/C++ files into .tns files that Ndless can handle?

Additionally, can the Usb port be accessed through Ndless? If so I might have to become proficient in C/C++ very fast...

This is awesome.

In the mindset of members of the open development community, definitely, as the versatility of the TI-Z80 and TI-68k platforms is what made their success in the marketplace.
In their mindset of making closed technology and selling it at a much, much higher price tag than it costs them to produce (it's not just the calculator - the wireless "TI-Nspire navigator" is being experimented in classrooms), and making it harder (e.g. with that sub-par BASIC) for students to become producers instead of remaining consumers, certainly not.

> Also, would it be possible to make a C/C++ compiler/IDE for the ti-nspire (oncalc) that could edit C/C++ files and compile directly from C/C++ files into .tns files that Ndless can handle?
The Nspire is definitely powerful enough for a C compiler, given that the less powerful TI-68k platform can run the GTC compiler + IDE :)
This may require the Ndless libc to be expanded further than its current state, by finding more functions into the huge OS or by reimplementing them.

> Additionally, can the Usb port be accessed through Ndless?
Not currently.

You can access the USB port, sure. Actually knowing how to use it is a different matter entirely ;)
