DG4000 - a firmware investigation

Hi Peter,

Thanks again for the files.
I have formatted a 2GB usb stick Fat32 and copied the 00.01.08.00.02 update file (DG4000Update.GEL) into the root directory

I have followed the instructions as per the attached pdf but it stops at point 8.
Am I using the correct file or is there a problem with my usb stick?

The utility light does flash a few times but then stops and none of the waveform lights start to flash.
What is my current firmware version it looks like 00.01.07 as per the attached image. Is that correct?
What is FPGA?

I recall that you have to wait quite a while before the new firmware is applied, I was making the mistake of assuming it wasn't working.

stuartmp:
I waited 7 minutes and not one of the waveform lights had come on.

Make sure the .GEL file you have in the pen has CRC32: D36150FB

I don't know if most of the LEDs blinking is more intensive in the post-v08 era...

Try formatting the USB disk again and/or use another.

Hello folks. I think the upd file is corrupted (00.08.).I downloaded too, and no respond.  You need a clean update, ask some one here on the forum, someone have it, if you need it. I have a soft ver. 00.01.06 thats worked for me.

Important note is the handling of the boot procedures in some  DGs, IT matters how you power up your fg to read the stick!!!
Some tell to <let fg work normal, put usb stick in, let him recognize it, power down, press HELP button and power up,If went ok, you see the ramp button
flashing and after a while its stops and stay lit, and the flash go to other buttons (Waveform) and make the same procedure , and stop at USER button in the same way.>     Thats the normal way. (sandisk cruser mikcro 2.0 gb formated full FAT32).It worked for me.

Next step:Download cengen.exe, put it on root directory (c:\cengen.exe) and let it there.
 Open cmd.exe and type in c:\cengen.exe XXXXXX XXXXXX serial number  and press enter. (Modify it accordingly)
You get a message: SUCCSESS: licence file saved to:licence.CEN, Next, make a search on your computer, you find it as the nearest in time or date,
that's your file.
 Next step, make a copy of it and put it in a folder marking it as valid licence.CEN file. Copy it to your USB stick as licence.CEN.
Put it on your DG in and let it recognize it, Press Store button and select it at D, press Read, and it's popping up a message: invalid licence file.Too many errors.
Press again Store button and you got:Valid licence file or so. Go then to Utility to validate/verify the changes. 8) 8) 8)

Hope it helps ...Thank's to the forum!!! :)
