Casio Prizm documentation
« on: December 07, 2010, 12:16:09 am »
Because I know a few people, including myself, are working on projects for the Prizm, I thought it might be helpful to compile ALL of the known information and sources concerning the Prizm in one place for people. Here are all of the official resources of which I am aware:

Casio general specifications

Hardware User's guide

Casio Software user's guide

Spansion Flash memory Datasheet

Pictures for graphing (proprietary format)

If you are aware of anything not in this list, please post a link to it.

I've made a PDF with links to the sources of the animations. You can preview them or just be amazed at what Casio appears to have planned for the Prizm.

With a color screen, we could probably make a PDF reader ;)

I finally feel reasonably confident in this information, so I think it's time to announce this:

As of yesterday, it should now be possible have the Prizm accept and recognize image files. The security bytes in the .g3p file format have been cracked.

In other news, the Prizm appears to use Big Endian notation and it is almost certain that a C compiler of some sort exists for the Prizm. Whether these details will be confirmed by Casio remains to be seen.

Yeah, you can get a lot from a file format.

You know, If Casio were TI, they'd probably be watching and laughing because there aren't any real security bytes. They were just to mess with us  :P

Awesome to hear! I hope they don't change the format too often. I guess this means in short terms, we could create our own pics using a converter, like Image Studio for TI calcs or Excale's/Critor TI Nspire image converter?

More importantly, how about the processor architecture?

Casio has released absolutely no details about the processor. The ability to use Big endian is just what I got from their animation format, which is a near carbon copy of another file format that is specified to be used only with Big Endian processors.

C support?!!

I never said there was C support, only that a compiler exists :P

Whether Casio releases it or not is the question...
