What kind of damage can you do when the scope is in the special "extended" version of the system info screen? I accidentally did the "channel 1 x2, channel 2 x2, math" sequence with that screen already displaying, because I wasn't paying attention. Everything seems fine, what might I have done?

I know it was really stupid of me to do that, it's just that I backed out of that menu, did some other stuff, and then went back. I didn't realize that the "extended" mode would still be enabled, and without thinking I did the sequence again, *then* realized that it was already showing the extended info.

I re-calibrated the scope and everything seems fine (it actually seemed fine even before I did that). Did I dodge a bullet? Did I screw something up I can't immediately see?

Latest fimwares are immune to this issue, my message was refering to older firmwares... stay cool

Hello,

I have received my DS1052E today from DealExtreme. Looks like no hack for me at the moment. Details of my version below:

DS1ED125xxxxxx
Software: 00.02.05.02.00
DSP: 00.00
FPGA: 02.00
HardVersion: 58

Fingers crossed for the future.

John.

Hi, i successfully changed my DS1052E to DS1102E
original firmware was 00.02.05.01.02 hardversion:58
- used the 2.05.01.02_to_2.02sp2 firmware downgrade
- rigupgred the scope and finally upgraded to 00.02.04 SP1
it works like a charm down to 2ns
thank you guys for all the good work

.
regards

Well, got my scope today from Saelig and... <drumroll>

FW Version 00.02.05.02.00
HW Version 58

So I guess I'm SOL until a new hack is found. This all started as a hardware hack, right? If there turns out to be no way to ever hack a 02.05.02.00 scope, would it still be possible to modify it in hardware?

I'm in the same boat. I ordered my scope from DealExtreme on Feb 25th, got it today, March 24th, and it's got this new firmware on it. Anyone got a link to the hardware hack? Or should I just be patient and wait for someone to figure out a work around for this firmware?

joh · « **Reply #607 on:** March 25, 2011, 05:35:04 pm »

I think the hardware hack is here - I'm not sure its for me right now.

I think I'll wait for progress on the firmware route.

Got mine today from deal extreme;
Came with 00.02.05.02.00 (00.02.05 SP2)
Hardware version 58

==> Advice?

Greetings to all my 02.05.02.00 brothers.

I have spent quite an eternity googling for hack. Seems there is just one method used - downgrade the scope to 02.02 SP2 version, then change scope ID and update back to the latest (or any you like) version.

Till version 02.05.01 the downgrading was possible using patched 02.02 SP2 firmware, which fooled the installed version. To understand how, compare DS1000EUpdate.RGL files (actually just first 32 bytes are involved). You need the original (or even patched) 02.02 SP2 version, and the update file to (at least) ONE LEVEL HIGHER version than you have installed in the scope (in our case, something like 02.05.03). Then rewrite the few bytes at the very beginning of the 02.02 SP2 file by corresponding bytes from the update and voila - downgrading file is here. So we have to wait until Rigol guys release new version and then we will see. Or the same method will work (pray for that), or not.

But even if they definitely succeed to stop hacking the DS1052E scopes this way, there is allways another way. Unfortunately not so easy, as it requires chip unsoldering. Look at https://www.eevblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=1379.0 for details. AFAIK the procedure working for completely bricked scope will work for unbricked as well.

From what I remember reading around here, there's two parts to the flash memory -- one part contains configuration data unique to the individual scope, the other contains the firmware.

Question for Drieg:
Would it be possible for someone to treat this the same way you have been repairing bricked scopes, stitching a replacement firmware section with the configuration section?

Nowhere near as convenient -- the chip must be de-soldered first -- but would this work?

Yeah, right question. May be we will also look around for some other "nondestructive" way to do that. May be it is possible to read/write flash trough embedded CPU controlled by JTAG interface, or there are some hidden "undocumented functions" used by Rigol guys for assembled system inspection/tweaking

?

A bug has been reported on the product page of Dealextreme.com :
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/rigol-ds1052e-5-6-tft-lcd-50mhz-2-channel-digital-color-storage-oscilloscope-30573

"Posted by AviHM on 4/1/2011
(...)
The instrument stops functioning if you do the following:
Pressing up and down on the slope sub-menu under trigger menu will cause the instrument to stop working.
Display freaks out and it won't return to normal operation even if you turn it off.
I found that the only way to restore operation is to press on RUN/STOP button at start and to try get it out of the loop it entered. It is not a temporary glitch. "

Anyone aware of this ? Maybe some hope for a new firmware update ?

Hi guys, this is only my second post in this forum. I posted in the "DS1052E Up to 150Mhz" thread to inform that I have succeeded in upgrading my DS1052E to DS1152E using files and utilities found on this site.

I bought a slightly used oscilloscope from an internet auction mainly due to the restrictions in later software releases from Rigol. My oscilloscope came with software 02.04 SP1 and hardware 58 and was easily upgraded.

Again thank you to all that provided threads, files and utilities. You made a fantastic work.

Yes, it is possible.

So for those with 2.05 SP2 firmware, who don't want to wait until (if at all) Rigol releases newer firmware to make the hack possible again, and if you don't mind sending me your mainboard...

Would the calibration data be lost with that procedure?

drieg · « **Reply #616 on:** April 04, 2011, 02:19:25 pm »

No, why?! Nothing will be lost.
No loss, no soldering, full backup and... NO CHARGE

...and please don't ask me for details, I really can't tell you, sorry.

hey drieg,

i think you use jtag for this, yes ?
which program and which configurations you use ? how do you connect the jtag adapter ? what changes you make on the flash ?

cheers,

I agree "respect the dude man ".
He said he cannot tell, so why are you asking?

Anyway I just got my scope today from Saelig.
$400 with free bag, and free shipping.
(I live near Seattle).

Here is the info:
power up: 8
Serial: DS1ED124915xxx
Ver: 00.02.05.02.00

DSP: 00.00
FPGA: 02.00
HW: 58

Calibrated 7-Dec-2010

It is kind of intimidating.
I am used to older analog scopes only.
Are there any tutorials or videos on using this scope?
I know for sure that there are features that I have never heard of in it.
(Math for one).

I went ahead and registered it at rigolna and downloaded the software app for it.
I have not installed it yet.

Does the latest package from Rigol "just run" or is there a magic incantation to be done first.
USB/drivers/libs/DLL/MSI etc?

I run Fedora 14 x64, but have a Win7 x86 box available,

Thanks
Mick M.

Oh, i doesn't read the thread complete. When he said he can not tell, okay, maybee there is a real reason to don't give us the infos.

But he can't upgrade all our scopes, maybee i'm not in the right forum, but if there is anyone who can give infos about using jtag with rigol scope, please talk to me...
I think it's not a big problem to upgrade the scope without any risk if you have a working jtag connection to the cpu. Next step should be a firmware update that ignores the configured bandwith and everytime switchs to 100MHz.

Is there anyone who has experience in blackfin assembly ?
