Ti nspire cx cas os 4.2 download3/24/2024 ![]() ![]() * Q: Can you run a calculator emulator on Android on the Calculator?!?!Ī: Surprisingly, pretty decent, considering. * Q: Will this help students cheat by putting this on their calculator? * Q: What do I need to run android on my nSpire CX (CAS)?Ī: The bare minimum is (1) Calculator running OS 3.9 or less and (1) Mini-USB-OTG cableĪ: I have no idea, but it sure makes me laugh when I think about it ![]() * Q: Why are you using 1.6?! That's like, really old!Ī: Android 1.6 was the only feasible version of Android version I could run with an 150Mhz ARM processor and less than 64MB of usable RAM Touchpad (Using the touchpad dtb seems to break a lot of stuff like PMIC, so I disabled it _for now_)īattery Status (Status is emulated using test_battery kernel driver) External dongle needed)īluetooth (Not actually sure whether this works or not as I don't have a BT dongle) Wifi (warning, extremely broken and may kill your cat. As it turns out, it's even rather usable. However, I do believe it has exceeded it's goal as a PoC port to help me learn more about what is involved porting Android to legacy hardware. However, it should be noted that a lot of functionality is still missing, partially due to bugs, and partially due to the age of Android 1.6. I've been playing with it for a while now and figured it was finally *decent* enough to release to the general public. After a bit of porting work, I managed to get a full Android stack up and running on my calculator and slowly began to iron out the major bugs. That release is the obsolete, but venerable, Android Donut (1.6). So, after a bit of searching, I found the best suitable Android release to run on the lowest-end Linux capable hardware I could think of: my calculator. The latest Android release at the time of writing is Lollipop, a release Google claims can run on smartphones "with as little as 512MB of ram." Certainly a good start, But I was convinced *some* version of Android could run on *extremely* low end hardware. there seems to be a misconception that Android can only run on fast smartphones. You can now run Android on a graphing calculator This is my attempt to contribute back to the community, by porting Android userspace to the nSpire CX and CX CAS model calculators. One of the most notable community contributions, started by tangrs, was a port of Linux to the device, giving users and tinkerers full access to GNU userspace. Luckily, however, the TI community found a way to "jailbreak" the nSpire CX and CX CAS, allowing third-party developers to create apps for their calculators. Unlike previous calculator models from TI, users, by default, are unable to create native homebrew applications for the device. The nSpire CX is a color-screen graphing calculator produced my Texas Instruments powered by an 150Mhz ARM-based SoC and 64MB of RAM. Android running on the TI nSpire CX Graphing Calculator ![]()
