Ok, i will make it quick - i need firmware file or firmware dump for tds8104(actually any additional info on the scope would be sweet as well, like board photos, maybe some info about straight analogue from siglent(since i am aware that they sell some siglent rebranded scopes)
To the story behind this, so recently i stumbled upon a sweet deal on owon tds8104(like 250$), however this particular unit has some problems with firmware(it doesn't boot, and it spits out an error in uboot when you try to get the info on the jffs2, which probably means that nand chip is damaged, since the seller says that the unit never was successfully flashed). I tried contacting owon to provide me with some known good firmware on their part, since their website doen't have firmware updates for that scope, but they failed to respond. The seller actually provides mtd dumps of the tds8204 nand(200mhz version, however he says that they are problems with flashing them via uboot, as you can clearly guess it's a dump of a linux distribution that this things runs on, not fpga configuration, i doubt it is broken, but it would be still nice to have a dump of the fpga configuration).
Thanks in advance everybody.
P.s. Yes i know of the ds1054z, but compared to this one - it has lower sample rate(2ghz vs 1 ghz), it has only 250 Mgs /s in 4 channel(where this puppy packs 1gs/s in 4 channel mode), it has less waveforms/s(30k on 1054z vs 50k on this fella). And yes i am aware of it's shortcomings like bad firmware, less math functions, no clever memory tricks, less memory in general, no digital phosphor and no equivalent mode.
