Siglent SSA3000X and SSA3000X-Plus Spectrum Analyzers

[Ghislain]

IP does not change, and I have access to the web interface a all times

May be I am stating the obvious but since you mentioned earlier that a friend helped you with the Telnet session and the vi editing, are you sure you are using the right port (10101) in the configuration of your telnet client?
By default the Telnet port is 23 so you have to adapt that in order to get it connected.

[DeepLink]

Yes, all files are unzipped
Ports are correct
The update process is started, but returns to the update screen
No VNA modes available

I tried again with the SVA FW - and this time it rebooted
Still showing SSA (now SSA3032X+), but now the modes VNA and DTF are pressent

Now to the license hack...

[DeepLink]

Got telnet access with SVA1032X_telnet.ADS

but the first command fails
/usr/bin/siglent # $ mount -o remount,rw /usr/bin/siglent/firmdata0
/bin/sh: $: not found
/usr/bin/siglent #

This is where I'm stuck...

[tv84]

So, you converted to SVA. Period. All seems OK.

What do you mean by "stuck"?

[tubularnut]

Got telnet access with SVA1032X_telnet.ADS

but the first command fails
/usr/bin/siglent # $ mount -o remount,rw /usr/bin/siglent/firmdata0
/bin/sh: $: not found

There is no $ at the beginning of the command, that is simply a shell prompt in the original instructions:

This is why you get "$: not found"

It should be simply:

mount -o remount,rw /usr/bin/siglent/firmdata0

[DeepLink]

Yes - Telnet is not my game

Called a colleague and he guided me through the commands

And viola - now its a SVA 1032X, with all options permanent

Thank you so much

P.S. - don't know why it didn't wanted to update, tried several times

[tv84]

Didn't see that. 

Executing some of these procedures when we don't have the ability to debug such an error is likely to originate some headaches or "pocket aches"...

SVA1032X Firmware – V3.2.2.4.0 (Release Date 01.20.21 )

Upgrade worked flawlessly, first time I saw a 'upgrading now' message including an animated hourglass, took about a minute including the auto reboot 

[tv84]

WARNING for all crossflashers regarding this latest version.

WARNING for all crossflashers regarding this latest version.

To be sure, the second nand backup was made (the first was as SSA)...
...and we are waiting for what will happen



I haven't tested the firmware yet (it's late and I'm going to sleep).

3.2.2.4.0.r2 is working 100% on my SVA1032X (SSA3021X Plus with pro mode features).  Also, it fixed the Reflection calibration issue!  Additionally, it fixed a weird freeze up issue when I would go to the DTF option after using the VNA

If you aren't worried about telnet and make a backup, an upgrade should be safe.  I mainly upgraded as I needed the Reflection option to work properly

Where did "r2" come from then ??

I did the same as MOTechGuy, and also got 3.2.2.4.0.r2

Related to the cross flash I'm guessing as it's not available on official Siglent sites.

I agreee, I did download the SVA1032X_V3.2.2.4.0_EN, so it must have something to do with the cross flash.

But I think that next time I see an upgrade, I would remember to make a nand backup first. But thats too late now, and it seems to be working :-)

I suspect it's a little flag added by the SW engineers.

Yes - and at next upgrade, it will become a 4½ digit multimeter 

[Elasia]

The r2 is from using pro mode and not actually have entered license keys... nothing to do with cross flash itself

I think I understand, I actually entered the keys on mine, with a little help

Just bought a SSA3021X plus.  I have upgraded it to a SVA1032X.  I was able to flash the unit with the newer firmware V3.2.2.4.0  successfully.

I noticed that the any of the telnet ADS don't work anymore?

I also had to mount the usb drive in write mode.

mount -o remount,rw /usr/bin/siglent/usr/mass_storage/U-disk0
