RE: 41CL Self-Update
I've completed the CL update with the new procedure provided by Sylvain and Monte.
Please see the posts starting at #34 in this thread: http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-8277-page-2.html Good luck! smp |

RE: 41CL Self-Update
I've completed several updates using Monte and Sylvain's tools. I've done:
1. Fully automatic scan and auto-update - success (but slow...) 2. Manual scan and auto-update - success (much faster) To-do next: 3. Skip scanning (take list of updated pages from server --diff report), manual marking of pages to update, then auto-update (faster still) 4. Skip scanning (take list of updated pages from server --diff report), manual marking of pages, then manual updating (possibly the fastest option, but also a bit more tedious, requiring many precise flash update command sequences, so in the end could be not as fast as option 3). Once you grok how this all works, option 3 is the clear way to go if you have a relatively small update to do (e.g. 1-3 or 4 update ROM pkg releases). If you have a quite old CL board, and many updates are required, you can do the fully automatic scan & update without really needing to understand the magic, and thereby get a shiny new ROM set with very little effort. In my case, there were > 200 changes, and the fully auto process took 4+ hours, but for 99.99% of that it just did its own thing, beeping occasionally to let you know things are proceeding. Jump in, the water is fine. --Bob Prosperi |

The only way that option 4 could be faster is if you didn't need to copy a sector to RAM because every page needed updating. This is exceedingly rare. Plus, you would need to be very fast on the keyboard. After my first full scan/update I always use option 3. I do use option 4 when I'm trying out a new version of something that isn't in the FLDB yet or when I just want to patch something that's already in Flash memory. P8BFR, quick edit, P8UPD is _much_ easier than it was before YUPS. |

V2-to-V2 update is only possible if you are somehow able to force the serial port to turn on in one of the machines. In the past I have done this by transiently connecting a battery between the Rx and GND pins on the serial connector, but I do not recommend doing this. The RS232 driver only powers up when a valid level is detected on the receive pin. V4/V5 has a connection between the CPU and the driver that allows software to force the driver to turn on. But the CL-to-CL update works fine. I do it all the time. |

The goal of this utility (41 ROM and PC App) was to allow 41CL users to update their machine by themselves. I had very limited free time since coming back from HHC2017, I am currently working on a small article that will cover 41CL introductory and advanced update technique. The next step will be to write the user's manual for the clupdate program. Best regards, Sylvain |

The other board (Beta) is currently not installed in a calculator, will do this later and try a 41CL to 41CL update. Thank you for the hint, I was not aware of that. So I will update my Beta board via PC. |

RE: 41CL Self-Update
I have a V3 and a V4 board, both I can get the first upload of UPDAT-3A.rom. But then I cannot open comms to update the rom_files. I am thinking it is my cable setup as I misplaced my original cable and build a replacement.

Hello Nate, Strange, if you are able to transfer UPDAT-3A.rom through the serial link then you should be able to do the same with the rom_files. Please, can you reply with your successful command line and with your failed command line so I can understand what you are doing/missing. Sylvain |

You need to gives the program the action you wand it do to. For example, to see the short how-to manual, you need to type: java -jar clupdate-1.0.0.jar --manual [RETURN] I suggest that you download the HHC-2017 41CL update presentation and the update package. Take the time to read it. When you are ready, do the installation procedure described at page 16, then try to do the basic update scenario described in the "FLASH UPDATE WITH PC HOST" section (page 35 to 44).
