Re: Page-Flipping mode on newest ARM HP49+/50G

Thanks for pointing this out Manjo.

It seems then, that i would need 2 different code path,
one for Saturn-based system (including 49G then)
and one for ARM-based using OpenFire.

True, it would be interesting if you decided to go for both versions
just to see how much easier it is on 49G+/50G with openfire :-)

I've tried to test OpenFire, but it does not seem to output anything
on EMU48,
which i believe is normal if OpenFire uses functions outside of ASM
scope.
This makes testing a bit more difficult then, given that i only have
Saturn-based calculator.

Yes, OpenFire will not work on EMU
(as well as no other ARM based software HPGCC or ARM assembly)
you ned to test/develop your software on true 49G+/50G

From many posts in this group this seams to be unclear !
Major confusion, i think, comes from "49G+ (50G) emulator" which has only
Saturn and higher level capability (keyboard layout, Saturn+ instructions?,
larger screen)
(but no low level compatibility -no ARM and no SD card emulation)
