New Rigol 16-bit function generators DG800/900 series

[ToThePub]

@Sonicsx Why don't you just try it and let us know. Just use :PROJ:MODE DG2102 instead. Let us know as I want to get the DG2000 (due to the format) if I can turn a DG2052 to a DG2102.

[Candid]

I wrote an email to support about the missing waveforms with firmware 2.0.6 and got a quick response, that they could replicate the problem and that it has been reported to R&D department. So hopefully we will se a news firmware version soon. Didn't do this someone else before? As far as I could research no one did before?

Couple of days ago, the trigger output of my DG812 went tits up. :/
I am now seeing a constant +3.36V on the output. My guess would be a fried FET, though I have no idea how this happened.

Steps already taken:
-> Firmware downgrade to 1.08 and back to 2.06, to see if it could be a software issue.
-> took a look inside and checked for visible damage

Both turned up nothing so far.

Are there any schematics floating around the web?
Anyone having fixed a similar issue?

Edit:
Trigger output seems to consist of various ESD / clamp diodes, a HC4053M multiplexer for both channels and a TI buffer/line driver (HA125 is 74AHC125PWR?) per channel. Since both outputs show the same behavior, my guess would be the multiplexer - just a first guess though..

[beddy]

I was the enabler that helped but the true discoverer of this alternative method was bulba99. 

(when he told me the simple operation he had tried I was sure that he had solved it...)

I crafted this script so that all who were waiting this last step can finish the 2.04 upgrade.

This is a supplement to the rest of the upgrade process not a replacement!

This file is work with my DG2052, changed to DG992. The problem is the keybord of the device is not same, some of them can't work anymore.
Could you tell the logic of the hack file, or change something help me to upgrade to DG2102? Thanks a lot.

[JimKnopf]

@beddy Does your network card still work?

I got the DG2052 too and tried the step in 2021 already without luck. I ended up with a 992 looking device without ethernet.

At the moment i figure out the JTAG connectivity. It's a bit tricky. I got it to work with a CJMCU-232h and a TIAO tumpa adapter. My Olimex Tiny H and a Segger Jlink can't establish tap access.  I used a Jtagulator to find the JTAG pins. They are located on the 2x10 pin-holes. I removed the long pins below the board. They are not connected to any line. They only prevent access to the pin-holes.

[beddy]

The network can't work now. But a good news is if I update the fw to 2.2, the device will go back to DG2052, and update to fw 2.6 will change to DG992. Very strange.

[Njk]

Looks like you used not the original FW but a FW from this forum. Perhaps the latter incorporates some unix script, which was manufactured by tv84 specifically for those not able to type :proj:model. And 992 is "hardcoded" there. Nothing is strange. That's what I think. On the other hand, thanks for sharing this. DG8xx/9xx/2xxx all uses the same Sitara SoC that has Ethernet on-board. So it was not clear what will happen if to populate DG/8/9 with LAN socket manually. Now we know that it'll make no sense as LAN is disabled in FW.

[tv84]

You all must be aware that my DG800/900 investigations precede the release of the DG2000 model.

As such, it was never guaranteed to work with the new model even if using the same FW.

Rigol did introduce/correct some countermeasures in the FW to make harder the DG900 migration let alone a migration to DG2000.

As I remember there were some members who tried the DG2000 migration with some help from me and by lack of time, interest, etc., I wasn't able to solve their rollback.

Nonetheless, I'm completely sure that a solution can be found. One of these days I might step in to help some ongoing effort but, for now, I don't have time for this quest.

[tv84]

Could you tell the logic of the hack file, or change something help me to upgrade to DG2102? Thanks a lot.

Just a small hint from memory: the public procedure involved an old FW release that allowed the SCPI commands to change model. Those old FW releases (prior to the DG2000 rollout) didn't have the DG2000 models designations.

So, once you force an unknown model designation in the old FW (exclusive to DG800/900) the device gets into an unstable situation where it doesnt know how to properly behave for all the settings that are based on it model designation.

AFAIR, that is what you guys are dealing with. Of course there is always the direct access to the FRAM to change the model designation back.

[JimKnopf]

@Njk Seems the nic is disabled in FW yes. If i compare my UART log file with the content TurboTom posted here: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/new-rigol-16-bit-function-generators-dg800900-series/msg3244488/?topicseen#msg3244488

The "net eth0" lines are missing in TurboTom's log-output. Same chips, same  firmware.
@beddy Can you provide a UART boot log output from your fake DG992 status?
I'm curious if the net eth0 line  is present.

That's an interesting questions indeed. According to the previous reports, someone was able to log in to u-boot console using known credentials. If eth0 is enabled there? If the device tree structure is the same for all the DGs? Is it possible to log in to system console to see all the config details?

Anyway AM3352 is a good chip. It's not from a copy-past Asian vendor, it's directly from TI. There is a mature literature department, so a first class documentation, a bare metal SDKs, a Linux SDKs, support forum, etc. And it's not a new chip, most errata are known. Also, the BeagleBone boards are based on almost similar chip. The design seems a good target. It's not clear why the calibration data are not yet investigated here

[JimKnopf]

This are the JTAG Pins. The test-pads on the bottom side are not regognized as JTAG by Jtagulator. They have Signals and are connected to the Pinheader as shown in the Picture.

The exposed JTAG pins on the Mainboard near the Spartan 6 have strong pullup resistors. The JTAG pins on the CPU-board have much higher resistance values and are less usable. Maybe thats why i have  reset problems in openocd. I'm a newbie in jtag stuff. TopJTAG Probe could find the AM3552 with my Olimex Tiny H. In openocd i had less problems with a CJMCU-232H or (the better choice) a TIAO tumpa board.

To get JTAG access with openocd, i had to stop the boot process in uboot. Another way is, preventing the system from reading the W25X40 SPI eeprom by shorting pin 2 (DO) to pin 4 (GND) (see picture).

In openocd i startet the server with "openocd -d3 -f interface/ftdi/tumpa.cfg -f target/am335x.cfg"
and connected with "telnet localhost 4444" to it.

In openocd it looks like:

[JimKnopf]

Maybe the electrical characteristic of some pins might be of interest for someone.

I attach a LibreCalc table. Rename the file to .ods.
Btw. the JTAGulator doesn't found JTAG pins on the 2x5 pin-holes on the Frontboard (keyboard).

The calibration data has been investigated (by me, TV84, etc), see this post

[Njk]

The calibration data has been investigated (by me, TV84, etc), see this post

Yes I've seen that. Actually, the information is distributed along the thread with low density. To figure out the status, let me to provide a quick summary here.

1. Calibration data. Currently, we have the data files for DG811 device. To my understanding, the promotion procedure does not alter the data, while the respective files for a true DG9xx device are still not available. Also, we have two sets of the cal files for the DG2052 model. That's all.

2. Key findings:

Well, CalibrationInfo.dat files from DG2052s are precisely the same file as in a DG811. The only difference is the date. The mac.dat shows the difference of MAC addresses. So all actual differences are in CalibrationData.dat. Nonetheless it is very similar.

I just uploaded Hobbit13's first set of CAL files onto my DG811+++, and indeed now get a pretty accurate amplitude up to 100MHz, yet with a DC offset of a few tens of millivolts.

At least, switching CAL files finally proves that the hardware of the DG800 series is absolutely capable of produceing a flat output up to 100MHz.

I compared the CAL files more thoroughly and as it seems, there's more to it than just copying some contents of the DG2052 cal file over the existing "zeros" of the DG800's. The structure is the same, as is the size, but it seems that some blocks contain identical byte sequences but placed at different offsets. So there may be "table descriptors" that are relocated which will make a blind copying of values futile.

What you're seeing in my pixelized images are just half of the original .dat files content, because the halfs are similar. And each the half has its CRC at the beginning (i think it's an crc). As we see in the pics, each the half, in turn, consists of 2 similar halves, which I suppose are the calibration data for 2 different channel.

According to the Chinese Service Guides, the Motherboard part numbers (2010004229) in the DG800 and DG900 are identical. The DG8xx models isn't calibrated all the way up to 100MHz and apparently also has fewer calibration points in the low frequency region. One would need to do a full calibration after upgrading. However, there is no comprehensive DIY calibration guide (yet).

The investigation got stuck at that stage because of the conclusion that the calibration data format can't be understood without disassembling and analyzing of the code that generates and uses that data (what a surprise). If i missed something?

[JimKnopf]

I now think the 2x10 pin holes are a Compact TI JTAG pinout. I don't know how do deal with EMU0 and EMU1 pin. Maybe pullup pulldown resistor can help. I will try that later.

[SMB784]

Yes that appears to be the state of the investigation at the moment.  I am happy to learn that the cal files are the same between models, that solves one mystery that I did not realize had been solved.  So, it appears the only thing left to do is figure out the cal commands via SCPI.  I know you can change the calibration date using an SCPI command, and there's a list of SCPI commands floating around in the thread.  Maybe thats a good place to restart the investigation: track down the possible SCPI commands and see what they do to the calibration file.

Thoughts?

[kavehm]

Does Rigel dc820 have a fixed and stable output up to two to three decimal places?

[Njk]

Indeed. On the one hand, all the SCPI commands are already extracted from the FW. And some interesting commands are identified

Calibration stuff (I can't read anything back, seems like its just write commands?)

:SOURce<n>:CALibration:RANGNUM
:SOURce<n>:CALibration:SETVALUE
:SOURce<n>:CALibration:MEASVALUE
:SOURce<n>:CALibration:STORE
:SOURce<n>:CALibration:RECALL
:SOURce<n>:CALibration:PRESet
:SOURce<n>:CALibration:DATE
:SOURce<n>:CALibration:HIGHest

On the other hand, according to another post, it's possible to log in using SSH via the debug UART port, and to grab whole file system (including the cal files) in that way. Use jtag for that purpose would be an overkill, imho.

So the next step would be obvious: to enter each CAL command and to check the effect from that action on the data in the calibration file.

BTW I don't have the device but from the debug console log that was provided here early, it seems the FW is based on the very first version of the TI Processor Linux SDK (3.14.26-rt25 kernel, that corresponds to the SDK version 01.00.00 of Apr 2015, the RT patch could be applied later). It's too old and I was not able to find it at TI. A link would be appreciated. Perhaps it'll make sense to explore that sdk as the platform baseline used by Rigol.

[JimKnopf]

Connecting EMU0 and EMU1 on the Compact TI JTAG pin-holes to ground turns on 2 LED's (D2, D3) next to the golden Rigol logo.

I don't know how, but at some point the device booted with chinese text on the display. TurboTom wrote about 4 Boot Modes:

Boot Mode 2, pressing Trig repeadly while booting --> LCD/Button testmode

The DG2052 has the Trig key and also the  Help/Local key as 2nd function on Ramp and Arb key. Can anyone provide a picture of the LCD Test screen please?
Has anyone ever had Chinese characters on the display? They disappeared at the next boot.

Like this?

[Njk]

I now think the 2x10 pin holes are a Compact TI JTAG pinout.

It must be so, I guess. BTW, for conventional pin count, check Table 13 of SPRU655I "Emulation and Trace Headers" technical reference manual at TI

[JimKnopf]

I played around with jtag port, openocd and some interfaces like:

• Segger Jlink
• TIAO Tumpa
• Olimex ARM USB Tiny-H
• CJMCU-232H

i couldn't get openocd to work with the AM335x target. At the very moment U-Boot loads the kernel, i get errors and the connection is lost and can't get back working. Even reset won't work.

I then tried Segger JLinkCommander. It works like a charm.

[Njk]

The dump.bin file has 268.435.456 bytes of data.

What's the FW version that file is from?

BTW, could you to clarify a couple of more things:
1. There is 3-pin debug UART port on the Core board. What is the power voltage for this port, 1.8V or 3.3V?
2. As far as I understand, the device USB host does not support a USB hubs. So only one host port is available. Is that correct?

[JimKnopf]

@Njk

I use Firmware 2.06 on my DG2052.

The UART has 3,3V. I led the three wires trough the side. For this I have designed a hole lining and printed with a 3D printer. It fits into the hole for the stand and ensures that the cables do not slip inside. So i can use UART when ever i want.

What i read, the Chip supports 2 USB Ports, but only one is exposed in Hostmode.
