wp34s - Windows ... necessary or not? - Glenn Becker - 06-22-2012 Good morning all -- First, let me congratulate the 34s team -- what a great product! It is _the_ calculator I reach for nowadays (I ordered one from Eric R.). I have a question, though. I'd starting preparing myself to do an upgrade to the latest version, when I saw this on the Sourceforge site: "For the time being, access to a PC running Windows is required for flashing." ... now, I could swear I'd seen threads here about people doing this under Linux. I am a *nix-only household: only various Linuxes and BSDs here. Am I therefor SOL, or limited to doing this under Wine? Thanks,
Glenn
Re: wp34s - Windows ... necessary or not? - rgray - 06-22-2012 I just succeeded in my first WP34s flashing under Fedora using Pascal Meheut's wp34sflashcmd tool (for details scroll down a couple of days posts). There sre some hardware specific details of the serial port which are not fully understood yet - I didn't succeed until I tried a second machine where it worked first time. |
