Re: The unused top function key

I don’t quit the CUSTOM menu. The calculator does. In fact, the real problem is that this menu is not an application menu. It’s a function menu. So when the user calls another menu (like CLEAR or CONVERT), the calculator goes back to NO menu instead of CUSTOM. As explained in the Owner’s Manual, pa...

Re: The unused top function key

Three years later… a new user does not understand why F3 still does not display the CUSTOM menu. 🤔 This choice would seem so obvious that I made a specific search on the forum for this topic. You could go even further and ask yourself why you would leave the custom menu at all? :D (during normal da...

Re: How to combine DMCP OS + DM42 program into combo deliverable?

Yes, that is mostly correct; here's a link to updated docs in github that explain the file format and the mystery bytes: https://github.com/swissmicros/DMCP_SDK/tree/master/keymap_utils#making-dmcppgm-combo Thanks - that indeed explains "mystery bytes" :) and few additional details too. B...

Re: How to combine DMCP OS + DM42 program into combo deliverable?

Sorry, missed this until now. I'll check with David if there is some way to do this. Thanks! Of course I already looked into officially released combo files :-), they are in essence a concatenation of dmcp and pgm files with a bit of padding and checksums. I wrote a script and can rebuild practical...

How to combine DMCP OS + DM42 program into combo deliverable?

Hi,

It is well documented how to build a DM42PGM.pgm file - however, I didn't find anything on how to combine pgm file with a DMCP_flash_x.yy.bin resulting in a combo deliverable like DMCP_flash_3.24_DM42-3.22.bin

But I'm happy again!
Very good! :D

I'm going to update README file with a hint concerning DMCP installation and eventually look into a bug with PRGM mode and multiple CUSTOM exit-entry.

Re: May 2021 Speculations

As I mentioned it's only an intuition, because I have managed several big projects professionally but no OS projects. With a hired team, you know the resources at your disposal. You reliably know who they are, what they can do, when they will work on the project. If you rely on OS, you have no idea...
