Occasional auto-reset after disconnecting from USB
« on: May 25, 2011, 06:20:18 pm »
Sometimes when I disconnect from USB, my Prizm will automatically reboot and reset all settings. So far, this happened about 10-15 times. I guess, this is some kind of file system bug, because I'm sending a lot of add-in files to my device - sometimes 5 at once and only with minor modifications (just to test some stuff).

Did anybody experience something similar?

My PC has USB 1.1, runs Windows XP SP3 and I'm always disconnecting via [AC/ON].

I haven't encountered this, but I usually only send one file at once.

I sent everything in a backup once (in other words, a whole main/storage memory's worth of files).  I had no problems.
Usually when I try to terminate the connection with the eject option I always get an error message saying that "an error occured when attempting to eject".  Despite that error ejecting always works.

Since I did a flash memory optimization, it no longer happens. So, this may have been caused by a high degree of fragmentation.

I didn't either. Maybe it was fragmentation. On the 83+ when the memory is fragmented, it takes a long while to move stuff to the flash.

It does sound like a file system bug. How much memory are you using? It may crash while trying to allocate the physical memory for the file.
∂²Ψ    -(2m(V(x)-E)Ψ
---  = -------------
∂x²        ℏ²Ψ

About 1 MB, but I often replace the same files with newer ones.

This is definitely a bug, because I can now reproduce it after a full device reset. :P
Just connect, replace the same file (but with a different size and timestamp) disconnect and repeat this for about 39 times.

After the crash your log file should look like this:

Code: [Select]

I already informed Casio about it.

Great, you can have the even numbers...

Interesting find.  If the flash is horribly fragmented, does the OS prompt to optimize/defragment it, or is it just silently failing? (Just wondering if the OS does this at all)
SDCC tastes like air bags - big output, but fast and safe to run.

On legacy models, you sometimes see a "Fragmentation ERROR". I didn't spot it on the Prizm yet.

I tried for hours to find an exact (and simpler) pattern to reproduce this, but I give up on this.

The OS is full of small little issues and I no longer have the patience and time to keep struggling with the Casio support, which seems to be unable to understand my technical reports.

I don't care what they do with the Prizm or fx-9860G.
Someday, I will throw away the entire OS and put a custom one on them. :P

Fragmentation Error... Never saw that!

Anyway, we should develop as fast as possible our own OS, just for the screen cap for example

I personally would not bother with them. When I e-mailed them once about the Locate bug, they were not even able to open a Youtube video to see a demo of the problem and they barely understood what I meant.

And lol a new OS would rule :D
