Hello,

Backstory: I've got this TI-82, and for those who don't know, it doesn't have a Flash ROM. So everytime I have to unplug the batteries because the ASM program froze (this happens a lot on the Parcus 19.006 model), I have to restore a backup from my computer. But what if I'm in class? I definetly can't just pull out a whole computer and link cable just to reprogram the a thing. So I thought, what other device is as smart as a computer, but pocketable? My Android phone!

First of all, I tried running the TiLP linking program under Termux and a AnLinux layer, and the cli version actually worked!
Except for one thing: it would get stuck at the probing process (searching for link cables) with a "Segmentation fault" error.

My guesses are either TiLP is probing the serial and parallel ports, and of course failing on a phone, or the libticables library might just not be compatible with the aarch64 (64-bit ARM) architecture. Although I think it's the former because if it really wasn't compatible with aarch64 then it wouldn't even shown the "Searching for link cables" notice.

If someone can tweak the source code for TiLP to ignore all other ports except link ports, hit me up.
I mean, it's right up there in the manual Razz


Code:
tilp --cable=SilverLink --port=1 --no-gui ...

(for instance)

I already tried, it still really wants to probe for other stuff
From what I see, no, it doesn't try to probe other things than the indicated one.

I guess you'll have to debug it on your end to see exactly what crashes it.

The thing is, it actually finds and reports the TI GRAPH LINK USB cable, so I'm kind of lost.
Oh sorry, I copy/pasted the thing directly from my terminal without changing the actual cable parameter that you have to use in your case (SilverLink, not DirectLink (that's direct usb))
