Re: DM42 Firmware V3.1 available
Download flash.sh.zip from my previous post and unzip it. Put the flash.sh file somewhere convenient, say, $HOME/DM42.
Put the DM42_flash_X.Y.bin file in the same directory.
Then, open a terminal, and do this:
$ cd $HOME/DM42
$ ./flash.sh
If you create the flash.sh file yourself, instead of getting it from the zip file, you'll have to make it executable first, before you can run it:
$ chmod +x flash.sh
Note: the $ above means: "at the shell prompt, do the following" (i.e. type this, then press Enter); that's a common idiom in Unix how-to guides.

I'm trying the latest HELP file (I've created HELP folder and copied index.htm there).
Do links suppose to work when pressing ENTER button? Nothing happens in my case, what I can do is to scroll up and down by pressing arrow buttons.

There is information about navigation next to the top of this file.

Re: DM42 Firmware V3.1 available
BTW, I think the use of the arrows ^and v within the help file is way counter-intuitive. Opening said file, I press arrow down to see more - and then I'm informed about the assignment of keys. Alternative suggestion:
- Press ^ to move 1 line backward.
- Press v to move 1 line forward.
- Press / to move 1 page backward.
- Press x to move 1 page forward.
- Press - to select previous link.
- Press + to select next link.
- Press ENTER or XEQ to jump to selected link.
- Press EXIT or F1 to exit help.
- Press F2 to jump to Contents.

Re: DM42 Firmware V3.1 available
Works like a charm on my DM42 Beta. What's different on yours??

Re: DM42 Firmware V3.1 available
Good question! Neither ENTER no XEQ do work for me
Maybe I will download "an official" zip help file from web-site, not 'save as' from the browser.
UPDATE:
This is from zip HELP file:
Code: Select all
<ul>
<li><a href="#Using_Menus">Menus</a></li>
<li><a href="#Memory">Storage</a></li>
<li><a href="#Data_Types">Data Types</a></li>
Code: Select all
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.swissmicros.com/dm42/fat/HELP/latest/#Using_Menus">Menus</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.swissmicros.com/dm42/fat/HELP/latest/#Memory">Storage</a></li>

Re: DM42 Firmware V3.1 available
Watch it! My wishlist above is not the official navigation (yet)!
Glad you found the difference.

Yes, always use the original file from SM, or if you choose to modify it, do so using only a text editor, not a WYSIWYG html editor; although the file is names an HTML file, it is a special version with only limited tags, etc. and a 'normal' browser will modify it in (many) ways it will no longer work.

Yes, if you display a web page in Chrome, then right-click on the page and save it, it will convert the relative links to absolute links that the calculator cannot follow.
It is better to right-click on the link and save it, as it won't convert the relative URLs to absolute URLs that way. Preferably, the link should be to the actual index.htm file like this, rather than to the directory, as it has an index.htm filename ready to save to in the former case (unless the download directory already has an index.htm, in which case a number will be added to the filename).
