04:36:48 Waiting for 41CL commands ...
04:36:50 Received OPEN_CHANNEL_REQUEST(0x41)
04:36:50 Sent OPEN_CHANNEL_RESPONSE(0x42)

After CMOPEN, nothing on the calculator. Zilch.
It just returns to 0.0000

What am I missing...?

Hello Neve,

I was not able to finish updating the update procedure last night, sorry about that.

Good news, is that it is working.
CMOPEN only open the communication channel, its normal response is nothing on the calculator and OPEN_CHANNEL_REQUEST/OPEN_CHANNEL_RESPONSE on the computer.

I suggest that you really read the following documents:

• clupdate-1.1.0-readme.txt (part of the clupdate-1.1.0.zip file)
• 41CL Update Functions Manual
• HHC 2017 CLUpdate Presentation Document & Video
  

Open up the clupdate-1.1.0-readme.txt file and go to line 611, you will see an example of the update process.

The basic things that you have to type on the calculator once everything has been setup are:

Code:

CMOPEN         // open up the communication channel
"*"            // scan all Flash space for outdated ROMs
FLCHK?         // do the scanning process (take around 3 hours on the v5 board)
"*"            // update all outdated ROMs marked by FLCHK?
FLUPD          // do the update process (should not take much time since your v5 is almost up to date)
CMCLOSE        // close communication channel

Best regards,

Sylvain
