Siglent SSA3000X and SSA3000X-Plus Spectrum Analyzers

Please excuse my ignorance, as I'm a newbie at this sort of thing. If one needed to restore their equipment from a NAND dump, how would that occur? Is that done via JTAG interface?

Opening the unit and, via UART, using the bootloader functionalities. No need for JTAG. If the equipment is somewhat working you could also try some NAND replacements via .ADS files.

Another instrument upgraded successfully, thanks a lot to all i got support from, and especially tv84!
Method was according post #1223 step by step plus some inputs afterwards.

Found out one can use FTP client to transfer screenshots and measument data from the instrument. Is there also a way to enable write access to the internal storage to create folders and rename files?

Grant yourself telnet and go to town

Does the cross flashing to SVA1032X work on the SSA3015X plus?

I guess you mean SVA1015X.
SVA1032X has a different LF VNA spec that suggests the HW is different. Check the datasheets.

No, I mean SSA3015X plus.  It was announced recently.

Oh wow....yes probably to your original question.

Would be nice if Siglent let their distributors know about new models. 

Edit
Check the datasheet TK. Maybe no to your question:

Looking at the datasheet and knowing about the SVA1015X and SVA1032X differences, maybe this new SSA3015X Plus can only be crossflashed to SVA1015X.

This would plug the missing SSA from that 1.5GHz slot, i was surprised they didnt roll it out with the SVA 15

But yeah it couldnt cross flash with the others, its a different hardware set.. only the SVA1015X would be its match

Good morning all . Thank you for this Forum which is really great. I bought an SSA3021X in May 2020 with the TG option. I want to toggle my options permanently like EMI and Monitor FM. Unfortunately I am not an expert in Linux and I am a little lost in the correct method to apply to open all the options keeping the serial number and my option valid from the TG. Currently, I still have 34 hours of validity because I have not yet installed it in my workshop. If anyone on this forum can help me or point me to the best fit page for my model, I would be very happy.

My Siglent SYSTEM INFO :
SW1 1.2.9.3a
SW2 20180708-1
SW3 000000E1
HW  0F.03.00

Crossflashing to SVA1032X final step

For all those that want to get an official "SVA1032X" designation after having crossflashed their SSA3000X+, the only thing that you need to do is replace the firmdata0/NSP_trends_config_info.xml file with the attached one.

Reboot and voilá.

PS: This is a stock NSP_trends_config_info.xml taken from an "original" SVA1032X.

Hi tv84, thanks for the awesome work on this SSA/SVA crossflash!

* However, I suspect your attachment is wrong, it seems to be an .sh file (with the dumpnand script) instead of the NSP_trends_config_info.xml

* Also, I have crossflashed my device (to the latest 2.2.1.2., but still have XXXXXXXXXXXXXX as serial number / SN.
What's the way to do this right, while retaining all licenses as "Permanent" ?

Screenshot of my current system info is attached.

I can see RT40 activated... does it work on this crossflashed SVA1032X?

That is for SSAX-R.

HELP PLEASE (((( I JUST BRIKED MY SSA3021X-PLUS ((( I follow the 1223 post and now my siglent does not boot up the TG and MODE are light but that is all.PLEASE HELP.

[Precut]

You need to get access to the internal UART interface to see console message.

You will need to open up the back of the unit and plug into the uart vias as detailed a bit back in this thread, once you can paste what your boot messages are, one of us can walk you through it more than likely, worst case is usually a partition nand reflash from the uboot preboot prompt

Now : 13:41 , 26.08.2020 I WILL do that ! Wish me luck .Thank you all for the support !

Do you know what step bricked it?

For sure: not following the instructions to the letter.

Take a deep breath and wait for @Elasia.

Are you sure you have your serial port well connected and configured? Verify all once again.

I've tryied with 2 computers , 2 terminals all native serials.Puty and hercules show the the same ==it do not know

Sure, but what about the the SSA pins? Are they correct?
