--- Quote from: MarcelM on July 10, 2014, 11:07:21 am ---...just wanted to let you know that my MSO2072A (running the very latest firmware version 00.03.00.SP1) has been successfully upgraded to 300MHz with all options.

This is great news! It means there is still hope.  :)
Could you give a short step by step guide of how you did it?
I am ready to go looking for a JTAG debugger for this.

Thanks!
MarcelM:
Short step-by-step guide:

- Order the Olimex ARM-USB-OCD JTAG USB interface
- download / install the bfin toolchain (see the famous post on page 163 of the megathread)
- use the MSO's own probe wires (the loose patch wires for the logic probes) to connect the Blackfin's JTAG bus to the OLIMEX interface
(TDI, TDO, TMS, TRST, GND); I didn't bother with the resistor pullups
- Take 3v3 from the SPI connector instead of the JTAG one
- memdump the SDRAM as per the Tirulerbach instructions
- use rigup tool on this memdump

The result is a set of option keys, that can be entered via the scope's front panel
(or, apparently, via Ultra Sigma, I didn't bother with that ...)

So, in short, using the JTAG memdump route, no need to downgrade firmware (which might brick the MSO)

As far as I'm aware, this is the only way to enable the extra features on the latest non-downgradeable MSO's

JTAG interface => sdram memdump => rigup0.1 => enter keys

Good luck!
Marcel

That's great news... just bought my jtag interface today. Could you point me in the right direction to the rigup tool? I'm guessing that it might be hanging out in here: http://www.gotroot.ca/rigol/ but which version did you use or am I looking at the wrong stuff?

Thanks,
Brandon

They're quite small so you may as well download all of them :)
MarcelM:
I used rigup 0.1 but only because I didn't realise there was a newer version.
I would guess that version 0.4 will work (at least) as well...

One thing I did notice: on MY installation of the bfin toolchain (I used xubuntu in a VirtualBox)
The mem info command returned some error about missing XML support.
I just skipped that step, and did just a binary memdump of 0x00000000 to 0x07ffffff
Took about 45 minutes, then copied the resulting .bin file into my rigup directory (on the Windows machine)
1 second later I had my 28 character keys....

Good luck, and Happy Upgrading!
