Rigol DHO800/900 new firmware v00.01.04.00.02 2024/11/1

How long will it take to update via wifi dongle?

I think this scope is not designed to update firmware via wifi.

I'm trying network cable now with same result. Update is found and something is downloading with a progressbar, goes pretty quick to 100% and then it says "Upgrading, please wait...." for ages and I have to restart the scope. Maybe its some "hack" I did to extent bandwith and mem depth that did something that messed up things?

Edit: And now I tried with a USB stick with the GEL file on it. Scope just says no firmware found. I've messed up something for sure.

Edit2: Ok, now I got the update to work, via Storage menu. I'm now on 01.04 but I lost my hacks and are now back on 70 Mhz and 25 M mem depth. Bummer! So, can I use the rigol.vendor.bin to make it a 924 with this new 01.04 firmware or do I need to go back to 01.02 to do that?

USB stick. Put unpacked .GEL file into.

Thanks! For some reason I expected it to be able to update over the air!

It will if your network is working.

Yes it is.

Yes, i seems like they decided they weren't going to sell upgrades and took that code out.

So, can I use the rigol.vendor.bin to make it a 924 with this new 01.04 firmware or do I need to go back to 01.02 to do that?

There's a new DHO824 option, I'd use that one instead of 924.

No, you don't need to go back.

Thank you! I followed AndyBigs excellent guide and used his version of rigol_vendor_bin_824 to make it a DHO824 and it worked great! Doing a SelfCal now.

There are somewhere pregenerated files vendor.bin for all dho models. Just saying.

Nice! Is it possible to add some decoders to the 824 model? The 924 also have a LIN decoder but 824 only have CAN. Is it possible to add a LIN decoder for 824?

For 99.9% LIN decoding is enabled via library libscope-auklet.so (.so in Linux is a equivalent of .dll ), when vendor.bin is generated for 900 series. It's theoretically possible to hack it, but this is highly time consuming and if nobody wants to pay me for this, then Im not doing it. Personally I have DHO924S and I don't need to do it.

No, that's a DHO900 feature.
