New Rigol DS1054Z oscilloscope
MarkF:
Rigol firmware is available on Rigol North America:
https://www.rigolna.com/firmware/
Rigol only has the latest firmware versions available.
Besides, the DS1000Z will NOT load older firmware versions unless you jump through hoops (IIRC the procedure is earlier in this thread).
Note: DO NOT confuse the DS1000Z with the two channel DS1000Z-E.
The firmware is not compatible.

So nothing later than - 00.04.05.02.00 2021/07/24?

Hi Shock,
The attached file is from the following link:
https://supportcn.rigol.com/Public/Uploads/uploadfile/files/ftp/Firmware/DS1000Z(ARM)Updatev00.04.05.02.04.zip
This is the latest file at Rigol Chinese website as mentioned in Reply#4732 by PawelW.
Please don't just look at the firmware version, take a look at the release notes inside this zip, too.

Actually, it isn't.
It is the one that is mentioned by Mr Smile in Reply#4750 (same version number, new content).

But the "startup exception reminder" from May could be useful.
I ask myself:
- Why the heck two updates with the same number?
- What does a "startup exception reminder" do, that needs 14% more firmware space?
- Will it blend brick?
;D

With the conventional version numbering scheme, changed rightmost number means a minor maintenance update, e.g. because of new parts type. But it seems Rigol uses the numbering in a more creative way. Let's hope the space usage is increased because the code was compiled in a bit different way so now it's of greater size but runs faster. Besides, there can be a UI differences. For instance, v.00.04.05.02.03 can be differentiated from v.00.04.05.02.02 by additional items in the left-side menu (see https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/rigol-ds1000z-series-buglist-continued-(from-fw-00-04-04-03-02)/msg4855160/#msg4855160). There are two new items indeed. So the only way to find out what's actually new in the 00.04.05.04.04 is to install it.
Edit: at least, the recent events means the thing is not completely abandoned and some one there is still working on it
