reload firmware on siglent SDG810 func gen

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
