reload firmware on siglent SDG810 func gen
« on: July 26, 2021, 05:07:40 pm »
Hi folks:

Does anyone know how I can re-load firmware into a siglent SDG810 func gen?  It served me well for years and then just hung at the boot screen.  Siglent sent me files/instructions for reloading from usb, but that does not work.  A note in the instructions indicates that a min level of existing firmware needed to be present and I presume mine is earlier than that.

I opened it up, looking for a programming port (I have various jtags pods...) but saw no obvious connector or pad arrangement.  There is an sd card socket on the board however, so I am optimistic that code can be loaded via a card, however I get no response from siglent on that possibility.

I have a siglent spectrum analyzer which is actually pretty nice, and a 350MHz scope which is ok, but I recently got an SPD3303C power supply which had an out-of-box dead channel (they replaced it), and now this generator fail, so I am kinda burned out on siglent.  I have moved to a keysight scope and got a rigol func gen, both of which I love.

But I'd hate to toss the old SDG810 and would like to re-flash it and give it to my son.  Anybody have any pointers?

thx, gil

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and I want to say hello to everyone.
I have a problem with my Singlent SDG 810, which for some reason has stopped working, it has hung on the boot screen, and I don't remember what firmware version it has, in fact as always it has worked very well for me, I haven't seen the need to check it.
Can you help me to reload the firmware on my function generator?.
Thanks in advance :-BROKE

Thank you tautech, for your invaluable help, I made the consultation with Siglent in Germany, they gave me support to some extent, I explain only helped me to perform a system restore through the usb, but this did not work, in my device I have never used the usb connections, which has in endowment, so I do not know if they worked or otherwise as a result of the fall of the operating system has stopped working, I just do not know.
As this did not work, I got back in touch with the support and the solution they gave me was to send my generator for verification.
Of course, this without certainty that it will work properly again, what surprised me is that at no time did they contemplate providing me with the option to perform a reset through the micro sd memory that is provided.
Does anyone know anything about the initialisation of the generator through the micro sd memory?
Thanks again

I know plenty about SD card recovery, which for early/old SDG800 that have never had FW updated is reliable although the process is a little complex.

EU and US HQ are reluctant to share SD card recovery as it seems they think it is beyond the capability of the average Joe....  :bullshit:

Send PM with your email, SN# and any info you have on any FW updates you have done.

Good morning.
Of course it is, but it was thanks to your intervention, and it must be emphasized that all those who work with Siglent do not have the same approach that you have, which makes people loyal to this brand.
Kind Regards

That's probably because Joe Average is the typical customer targeted when offering function generators >:D
Most electronics guys did not get the concept of "computers" "SD cards" "press button A, then B" yet.

Just kidding (a bit), I very much appreciate you help (even though I did not need it, yet).

tautech ... Thank you

Too bad the manufacture doesn't provide this information on their site or troubleshooting guide.
