Re: Installation of Sparcom NavPac on 48GX Message #9 Posted by Timo on 1 Feb 2012, 4:25 p.m., in response to message #1 by Timo
I've just finished installing the Sparcom Nav-Package and everything just went like a charm!
Just in case some else tries to install it I will give a short transcript of what I've done:
- Copy the nav-2.5.1.bin file contained in the download to a directory of your choice.
- Use the interface program of your choice to transfer the CARDDWL program contained in Christophs CARDUPL package (download link see above) to your HP-48GX.
- Start the Hyperterminal Application of Windows and define a new connection with the following parameters:
COM-Port: Same you used in your HP interface program
Baud: 9600
Data-Bits: 8
Stop-Bits: 1
Parity: None
Flow Control: None
After accepting the settings the new connection should automatically be established.
- Select "Transfer->Send File" from the Hyperterminal menu bar. In the following pop-up window select the bin file you want to transfer and select "XModem" as protocoll in the dropdown menu. Once set up, click the "Send"-Button. Hyperterminal will now wait for an XReceiver on the other end of the line to become active.
- On your HP-48GX put the number of the port where you want to install the Sparcom Nav-Pack (1 or 2) on the stack. Format must be in Hex so if you which to install to port 2 type R-Shift -> # -> 2 -> ENTER. Then start the CARDDWL program be selecting VAR -> CARDD. The download should start immediately. You can observe the status of the download in the Hyperterminal Window. The HP-48GX will display "Downloading Slot...". The complete download should take about 3 minutes.
- After the download is finished the HP-48GX automatically performes a warmstart and the NAV48 library of the Sparcom Nav-Pac will be attached. Your done!
Please refer also to the readme in the CARDUPL package for further information on the programs.
I've installed the package in Port 2 of my 512k RAM Card. Previously I moved the libs that were stored there (Chem-Lab and Stat48 Pro) to port 3. Also, the Sparcom pack seems to blend in perfectly with SpeedUI 11.11 that I have installed in ports 0 and 1. No problems encountered so far.
Christoph, that is one really fine tool you have created there, I think I will use it as a standard now to back up my RAM-Cards from time to time. Once again, thanks for pointing me at it and for all your valuable tips!
Kind regards,
Timo
