EasyCLI is a command shell for the Commodore 64 computer. EasyCLI is packaged as an EasyFlash cartridge. This gives EasyCLI the ability to boot the computer and bring the user straight to the shell without having to load and run a program from disk.
EasyCLI comes packaged with several built in commandlets, each of which is it’s own 8K program that is stored in the EasyFlash cartridge and loaded on demand.
Changelog:
- New command: ECHO – Outputs text following the command.
- New command: PAUSE – displays prompt and waits for user to input a key.
- New command: EXEC – Executes a script. Scripts are chains of commands that will be executed in a sequence. Scripts can be chained together by including another EXEC command at the end of the script. This is very useful because the longer a script is the longer it takes to execute the commands in the script since the script must be reloaded after each command, so chaining together small scripts is faster than one big script.

EasyFlash Cart Builder is a M$ Windows tool for linking files together into an EasyFlash cartridge.
This is the first release of the EasyFlash Cart Builder. This release is capable of building a valid EasyFlash cartridge image that utilizes both EasyAPI and EasyFS. Cartridges are define in an XML file format. Each cartridge must define a boot image which must be a 16K Ultimax cart image.
If you want EasyAPI included in your archive you need to include the standard EAPI marker at offset $3800 of your boot image.

A new version of the firmware for the interface 1541 Ultimate is released. This version runs on both version of the Ultimate 1541 cartridge.
Version 2.4 includes the fixes that TLR made to the firmware, and adds the following features:
- CRT load (just by selecting the file, not on boot time)
- EasyFlash support (reading only, writing is not needed IMHO)
- Flashing and running custom FPGAs (Ultimate-II only), especially for those who want to do FPGA development without JTAG cable. FPGA bitfile will be flashed into the spare area of the Flash memory device, and the FPGA is booted from there. So there is no risk of bricking your device. (Flashing needs to be done for every boot still, optimizations will follow.)
For the rest, a lot of work has been done ‘under the hood’; especially in preparation of a native command interface to control the Ultimate from I/O space. But since this is not yet ready, it’s not included (=not enabled) in the 2.4 firmware.
