Markus,
I think you don't need to reinvent the wheel but... you know better.
If you want to reverse the SDS2000X Blackfin block, you can extract it with janekivi tool and them load the Blackfin plugins in IDA and analyze the code. It will be a hard job because there's no decompiler to help you. And unless you have BF expertise... Blakfin code is not ARM code...
But, of course, it is possible to do and, at least, produce a upgrade patch (since that seems to be your ultimate goal). Not the cleanest of the solutions but nobody here is looking for perfection.
SMB784:
So if I am starting from a stock SDS1104X-E with stock, out of the box (not updated) firmware, what is the step by step process for updating the oscilloscope to the latest firmware while also getting access to or changing the root user password for the scope?

If your scope system info show out from box:
FW 7.1.6.1.25R2
or
FW 7.1.6.1.25R1
(this 1, here colored red, it tells that OS V1 is installed.)
then B else A
A
Update latest FW and OS (if not already out from box).
SDS1004X-E Firmware (4-Channel Model) - 6.1.25R2 (Release Date 06.29.18 )
SDS1004X-E Operating System-V1 (Only For 4-Channel ) (Release Date 06.26.18 )
These both can download from Siglent official side. Inside these both packages (zip) there is also instructions.

Thanks!

I assume there is a root password, and I'm under the assumption that it is not something known it easily guessed, so how do I install the software update so that I can either know or set the root user password?

SMB784, are you asking how you interface with the unit? You'll need to telnet into the device through the ethernet connection. As rf-loop said, it depends what your current firmware version is. This determines the path you need to take. The firmware is upgraded by copying files to a USB flash and following the on-device menus.
Once you have an updated firmware, you need to load the special OS build found in the message that rf-loop mentioned in B above.
