Connexion kit for Numworks calculators
Beware, don't upgrade your N0110 calculator from Numworks site!+
More info
🛈Connect your calculator to the computer.
If the calculator connection does not work:
If this page does not work,
clear the browser cache and retry
- If the calculator screen remains black, even after you have pressed the Power black button on the calculator:
- Unlocked N0110 model: go to the rescue section.
- Other models: go to Numworks site
- If the calculator is on and the calc does not display "Calculator connected", unplug and plug the calc
- If the calculator is on and the calc displays "Calculator connected", try the Detect button.
Python scripts
- Detect the Numworks.
- Numworks→ ou Backup→ : get Python scripts from the calculator or from a backup.
- →Backup : get all scripts from the calculator in one archive and save it
- →Numworks : send a script (.py extension) or restore a backup (.nws) to the calculator.
Install, upgrade ...
- Documentation (English), Licences, Source.
- Installation on a locked N0110, or a N0115/N0120 (recent models):
tested with Epsilon >= 19.5 (N0110) or 20.1 (N0120)
- step 1: Detect the calc.
- step 2: install KhiCAS
short version or
complete version
on your calculator.
For the short version, you can optionnaly install examples scripts.
On N0120 models, RESET the calculator. - step 3: if step 2 did not work (or if you want
to upgrade Epsilon),
press the 6 key and RESET at the back simultaneously
keeping the 6 key pressed, then release. Now make
a firmware upgrade
- from an Epsilon firmware image you have downloaded somewhere (19.5 recommended on N0110/N0115) on tiplanet webdfu site
- or otherwise from Numworks site
- step 4 : if you do not have other external apps,
you can install the
launcher compatible with
- N0110: 19.5.0, 19.5.9, 20.1.0, 20.2.0, 20.3.0, 20.4.0, 21.1.1, 21.2.0, 21.3.0, 22.1.0, 22.2.0, 23.0.0, 23.1.0, 23.2.0, 23.2.3 (last public source), 23.2.5, 23.2.6, 24.1.0, 24.5.0, 24.6.0, 24.8.0
- N0115: userland with the same version number and same source sha256 fingerprint are identical between N0110 and N0115 up to 1 byte (the model number digit 5 or 0). Launcher should be compatible. Kernels for N0110 can run on N0115 if the LCD controler of the N0115 is recognized by the N0110 kernel. Conversely N0115 kernels should work on N0110.
- N0120: 20.1.0, 20.2.0, 20.3.0, 20.4.0, 21.0.0, 21.1.1, 21.2.0, 21.3.0, 22.1.0, 22.2.0, 22.2.1, 23.0.0, 23.1.0, 23.2.0, 23.2.2, 23.2.3, (last public source), 23.2.4, 23.2.5, 23.2.6, 24.1.0, 24.5.0, 24.6.0, 24.8.0
dfu-util -i 0 -a 0 -s 0x901x0000 -D sector1xvxx.x.x.1x0
where 1x is the sector number, vxx.x.x the version number, 1x0 the calculator model.
Otherwise download khicas.nwa, close this tab (this will free the calculator). and install khicas.nwa from external apps (Numworks page. - step 5: you should now see KhiCAS from the calculator Home screen.

Reactivate
Note that KhiCAS will be partially erased at each RESET/crash (except on N0110/N0115 with Epsilon 19.5)
Therefore you must reinstall KhiCAS launcher
(step 4 above) every time the calculator RESETs or crashes (keep this page in your bookmarks) or does an exam activation/deactivation cycle on some versions.
If you have to reinstall KhiCAS frequently, this will erase and erase again the same flash sector, this may be bad because the number of erase/rewrite cycles is limited. It is therefore recommended on N0110/N0115 to install Epsilon 19.5. With Epsilon 19.5 on N0110/N0115, external apps are automatically reactivated when you leave exam mode. After a crash or reset, you can reactivate external apps without flashing the calculator, connect the calc and click on reactivate external apps (19.5).
Under Linux or Mac OS with dfu-utils, you can reactivate external apps without connexion with the following command:
dfu-util -i 0 -a 0 -s 0x90200000:leave
I can not change this myself, this is the consequence of design decisions made by Numworks.

Unlocked N0110 calculator blocked:
-Rescue :
Click here if your N0110 is stuck.
Connect the calculator, press the 6 key, enter a pin in the RESET button on the back (keeping 6 pressed), release the 6 key. The screen should remain black, while the red led is visible. Otherwise your calculator is probably locked, click here.
-If you see http://... tries to connect, click on STM32 BOOTLOADER then click on Connect.
-If rescue does not work, try with Xcas PC. On windows, check that you have a driver for STM32 BOOTLOADER, you can install one from Zadig.

This kit works only with a webusb compatible browser, like Chromium, Chrome or Edge and from a web server. Firefox does not have support for webusb for security reasons. If you don't want to run a webusb compatible browser, you can connect your Numworks with Xcas (version Windows, Linux et Mac).
For experts who want to run this page locally, activate a local webserver, for example by running from a Terminal the following command
python3 -m http.server
from the directory where you have unzipped xcashtml.zip, then click on this link.
