Does anyone have any tips on how to find the standard library functions on the Nspire?
Also, what do we have right now?

Here are the latest symbols for OS 1.1 non-CAS and boot 2, in IDA format. The standard functions were planned to be included in Ndless header files.
All the symbols found in boot 2 have not yet been searched in boot 2, but this shouldn't be too difficult, a binary search succeeds most of the time.
There are probably much more POSIX functions in the OS: a good disassembler is the tool you need.

Please share any possible new symbol you find.

One method is to dump the entire memory core using the emulator debug> w memory.raw 0x10000000 0x2000000.
Then do a binary search of the entry points given above in boot2.raw to match in the file memory.raw using a good file editor.

Here are some untested matches I found in only a half hour for noncas1.1 .
Put these in os_1.1.9253.h :

Code:

#define fseek_   0x10185330
#define strchr_  0x101860e8
#define strcmp_   0x10186114
#define strlen_   0x10186154
#define strncmp_  0x101861c0
#define strncpy_  0x10186220
#define strpbrk_  0x1018627c
#define strrchr_  0x101862bc
#define strcpy_   0x10187388
#define strtoul_  0x10257c10  // I am less certain about this one

Whats left is defining these standard library functions in os.h(find there prototypes anywhere) and test them in small programs

Hi,
I'm looking for those same file for OS 1.7 Nspire and Nspire CAS that you mention in the Nspire 1.7 make helper.
Thus, is it possible to make a public share, or is it only reserved for beta-users ?

Thanks.

Copy and Paste from the very long thread: Désassemblage du boot2
which has both boot2 and NONCAS 1.7 . I thought they where for the CAS1.7 , but they are for the noncas.
I don't know how much of that list is updated since then.
Leave it French, the Google translator messes up the page formatting, and you will miss information.

Here are the same in IDC format for non-CAS: http://www.mirari.fr/oDM7

Thank you.
I believe that you don't have the CAS one, or, do I have good reasons to think it is the same file ?

The addresses are different on CAS but I don't have them yet.
They can easily be ported with a binary search.

Here are some functions I found personally on OS1.1 and found again on OS1.7:

Code:

function                  NCAS1.7     CAS1.7       prototype
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ftell                     102a513c    102a714c   standard lib
freopen                   102a4db4    102a6dc4   standard lib
read_unaligned_longword   1019ACAC    1019ccc4   ulong read_unaligned_longword( void *addr) 
read_unaligned_word       1019ACCC    1019cce4   int read_unaligned_word( void *addr)       
write_unaligned_word      1019b470    1019d488   void write_unaligned_word(void *addr, int word )   
write_unaligned_longword  1019b488    1019d4a0   void write_unaligned_longword(void *addr, ulong dword )
stdin                     10858880    1081c870   standard handle
stdout                    108588CC    1081c8bc   standard handle
stderr                    10858918    1081C908   standard handle

I have a tool in development the finds standard library functions.
It is in part a modified version of the emulator. You set breakpoints in a memory range on entry points,
and run the emulator under normal use. As breakpoints are hit and automatically continued,
r0,r1,r2,r3, and to 16 bytes [r0],[r1],[r2],[r3] are dumped to file.
You examine the results and make an educated guess at which standard
library function it is.

Thanks bsl.

You can also start from the up-to-date IDC files.
What we are now really missing is an update of Ndless's os.h and Hackspire for all the standard functions whose addresses have been found.
