|
|
|
|
Prereqs:
|
|
|
|
* MacOS 10.12 64-bit:
|
|
|
|
* Install XQuartz, Xcode (from your installation media) in that order.
|
|
* Install Macports (macports.org), then:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo port install gtk2 pkgconfig gcc6
|
|
sudo port select --set gcc mp-gcc6
|
|
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Ubuntu:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install git libgtk2.0-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* RedHat/CentOS, Fedora:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo yum install git gtk2-devel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Arch:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo pacman -S git gtk2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Start up X11 and use xterm
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Download x49gp source:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/chwdt/x49gp.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Build:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd x49gp
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Install (optional):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./x49gp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When installed, there should be an applications menu entry to run x49gp.
|
|
Installing also enables running it from the terminal in any directory:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
x49gp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
First launch setup
|
|
|
|
On the first launch, the calculator will be missing a firmware, forcing
|
|
the bootloader to complain and demand a fresh one.
|
|
HP's official firmwares can be found at e.g.:
|
|
https://www.hpcalc.org/hp49/pc/rom/
|
|
Some of the most popular of these are also included in x49gp's source
|
|
directory.
|
|
Alternatively, the most up-to-date version of NewRPL can be found at:
|
|
https://hpgcc3.org/downloads/newrplfw.bin
|
|
|
|
Pick a firmware to use and store it in any directory along with its
|
|
update.scp file. The update.scp file only contains the filename of the
|
|
firmware (when renaming the firmware, make sure the new name fits into
|
|
a DOS-style 8.3 naming scheme) followed by a DOS-style linebreak, so a
|
|
missing update.scp can be rectified easily.
|
|
|
|
Right click on the screen, or press the menu key on a physical keyboard,
|
|
to open the menu, and click on "Mount SD folder".
|
|
Select the directory containing the firmware. Then, select the SD option
|
|
from the bootloader's update source menu by clicking on the virtual key
|
|
labeled "2" or by pressing the "2" key on a physical keyboard.
|
|
|
|
Now the bootloader is installing the firmware; wait until it finishes
|
|
printing hex numbers to the virtual display, then follow its prompt to
|
|
press Reset ( = F12 or the Reset entry in the menu) or Enter.
|
|
The calculator should be fully usable after this procedure.

|
|
Debugging with x49gp
|
|
|
|
There is a GDB interface for debugging ARM programs, e.g. HPGCC2/3
|
|
applications or replacement firmwares. To use it, start x49gp from a
|
|
terminal with the -d option, and start arm-none-eabi-gdb with an
|
|
appropriate ELF file in another terminal. To connect to x49gp, type in
|
|
the GDB console:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
target remote :1234
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Known Limitations:
|
|
|
|
* HPGCC SD Card I/O
|
|
- `libfsystem` unavailable.
|
|
- `f*` calls unstable (HPGCC2)
|
|
- `f*` calls stable (HPGCC3)
