This morning (for us in Europe), an anonymous person posted what he pretends to be a nLaunch for CX: http://cemete.ch/p202790#202790 , http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=11483
Given today's date, skepticism is warranted. But my own testing shows that he's not merely pretending that what he uploaded is nLaunch for CX (!!) - it actually works. Like nLaunch, it's based on arbitrary code execution in the boot2... and, BTW, the contents of the .tco and .tcc shows that it's the same kind of vulnerability, in the same group of functions as on the Clickpad / Touchpad.
I tested a single thing (before having breakfast...), but my CX CAS Nspire is now single-booting Linux, without going through TI's OS.
nlcx is making the same recommandation as we've been making for years: use TNOC before upgrading one's own Nspires' OS !
We'll keep you informed about testing and new development about nLaunch CX, and we warmly thank "nLaunch CX guy".
It's another wonderful day for the Nspire community
We thought it was impossible, but somebody did it...

Hi,
I'd first like to thanks the nLaunch team for their awesome tool!
After weeks and weeks of hard work, I am proud to present you nLaunch CX
Please spread the word so people do not upgrade their calculator to the next OS version without using TNOC!!
nLaunch CX features the same functionalities as nLaunch, on Clickpad, Touchpad and CX Nspire:
* launching Linux (modified nspire-linux-loader2)
* optionally installing Ndless 3.1 on OS 3.1 (modified Ndless loader)
* installing and launching any OS
Hope it will work fine for all of you!
