Toolchain for C programming on the TI CE calculators (TI-84 Plus CE / TI-83 Premium CE)

About

The CE C Software Development Kit incorporates a wide variety of tools and documentation in order to build programs in C natively for the TI-84+CE/TI-83PCE line of calculators.

Getting Started

It is recommended that you grab the latest release from here if you are looking to get started. Feel free to also bookmark the wiki pages, as they will become a helpful guide.

Included you will find examples using the 'Standard' CE C Libraries. These perform efficient and easy support for graphics, file I/O, keypad input, etc. Be sure to grab them if you plan to use them.

Building

These steps are only if you wish to help with development of the toolchain.

If you are using windows, mingw+msys is required for building.

If you are using linux or mac, wine is required for building.

Clone the repo: (Note the --recursive option)

git clone --recursive https://github.com/CE-Programming/toolchain.git

Then type:

cd toolchain && make && make install

By default, make install will install into the home (~/CEdev) directory on linux and mac, and in the root drive (C:\CEdev) directory on windows. This is configurable with make install PREFIX={DIFFERENT_LOCATION}

If you wish to view a list of available makefile rules, type: make help

If you wish to build a release; nsis is required for windows. Because of limitations of the current software; the special Large strings build is needed. You can find it here. Note also that you must configure your path variable to point to the nsis installation directory.

To build a release, type: make dist
