# TI-84+
|
|
|
|
**This is a work-in-progress, this is far from complete.**
|
|
|
|
## Recipe
|
|
|
|
This recipe gets the Collapse OS shell to run on the TI-84+, using its LCD
|
|
screen as output and its builtin keyboard as input.
|
|
|
|
## Build the ROM
|
|
|
|
Running `make` will result in `os.rom` being created.
|
|
|
|
## Emulate through z80e
|
|
|
|
[KnightOS][knightos] has a handy emulator, [z80e][z80e] for TI calculators and
|
|
it also emulates the screen. It is recommended to use this tool.
|
|
|
|
Once z80e is installed (build it with SDL support) and `os.rom` is created,
|
|
you can run the emulator with:
|
|
|
|
z80e-sdl -d TI84p --no-rom-check os.rom
|
|
|
|
You will start with a blank screen, it's normal, you haven't pressed the "ON"
|
|
key yet. This key is mapped to F12 in the emulator. Once you press it, the
|
|
Collapse OS prompt will appear.
|
|
|
|
**WIP: the keyboard does nothing else than halting the CPU for now.**
|
|
|
|
## Upload to the calculator
|
|
|
|
**WARNING: the instructions below will wipe all the contents of your calculator,
|
|
including TI-OS.**
|
|
|
|
To send your ROM to the calculator, you'll need two more tools:
|
|
[mktiupgrade][mktiupgrade] and [tilp][tilp].
|
|
|
|
Once you have them, you need to place your calculator in "bootloader mode",
|
|
that is, in a mode where it's ready to receive a new binary from its USB cable.
|
|
To do that you need to:
|
|
|
|
1. Shut down the calculator by removing one of the battery.
|
|
2. Hold the DEL key
|
|
3. But the battery back.
|
|
4. A "Waiting... Please install operating system now" message will appear.
|
|
|
|
Once this is done, you can plug the USB cable in your computer and run
|
|
`make send`. This will create an "upgrade file" with `mktiupgrade` and then
|
|
push that upgrade file with `tilp`. `tilp` will prompt you at some point.
|
|
Press "1" to continue.
|
|
|
|
When this is done, you can press the ON button to see Collapse OS' prompt!
