--- Quote from: Sparky on June 17, 2015, 06:12:37 am ---A new firmware has been released for DG4000 series last month. It is v00.01.11.00.00 (and contains bootloader 00.06, which is the same as 01.10 DSP firmware).

Here is listed that the latest firmware is 00.01.12:

Has someone installed it? Have you any link to load these firmwares?

Looks like version 01.12 just came out! I haven't tried it yet.

Regretfully I don't think you will be able to install the 160MHz BW software modification on units with the newer firmware. See -> https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/dg4000-a-firmware-investigation/msg581608/#msg581608 (Reply #270). But please don't be discouraged, as this is still an awesome Function / Arbitrary Waveform Generator. And (possibly) someone may figure out how to perform this software fix in the future.

Since I saw Sparky still can install the upgrade with v00.01.11.00.00 firmware. I think the new unit still have a chance to get a try.
But I am not sure what happens if it is failed to upgrade 160MHz.(maybe brick my DG4062?)
I read through the post and found the cengen.c but unfortunately I only have WIN PC. The online compiler seems doesn't work (can compile and execute but show no directly to save the .cen file)
I have to make more time to study on it ;D

Sparky had 160MHz installed prior to Firmware 00.01.09. If you have firmware 00.01.09 or later it is too late for you to get 160MHz. Please read my DG4000 Post #270 again.

I got it.
So it is a hacked 160MHz with 1.09 -> 1.11 firmware without losing hack, right?
If 200MHz hack with 1.09 -> 1.11 firmware probably losing all the hack
Correct me if it is wrong

Thanks for the links!

OK... I still get a try to hack my new arrived DG4062 with software and FPGA 00.01.11 but it popup a message "please select a valid file type" when I press the read button with the .CEN file......
What I can do is learn how to operate the machine now, and wait for folks to hack the new version :)
