- I can flash some content in RAM to the FLASH at a location/page that is empty after erasing it and writing 0xFFF to it, right?

- I have to erase a blanc page before wiring to it, right? [like (0x864)]

- How do I write an OS or IMDB update to FLASH?
+ Do I need to transfer the say *.bin file first to RAM or can I write to FLASH directly with a
PC?
+ What program should I use for Windows 10 to FLASH the calculator?
+ What setup have you used successfully to flash the calculator?
+ What Serial Port to USB adapter do you recommend?

- If I programmed a program how do I write it to FLASH?
+ How do I create my own ROM(-image)?
x What IDE/toolchain can I use to code in MCODE?
* Can you point me to a good MCODE tutuorial/reference/book?

- And finally does anyone have the latest OS and IMDB image?

I check the 41CL website at least every other day. It hasn't been down that I am aware of.

Most of your questions are answered in: http://systemyde.com/pdf/cl_flash.pdf

I use SDK41R6 for all of my mcode. Available at TOS. I admit to being biased, but I think that the NEWT manual does a reasonable job of explaining how the various instructions work: http://systemyde.com/pdf/newt.pdf But it's the typical datasheet format, which puts a lot of people off.

PS If you can hold off for a while, there will be some news on the CL update front around the time of HHC2017, if not before.
