Hi, Does anyone know of ways to hack the Tektronix TDS3000C series of scopes, please? I've got a TDS3012C and would like to upgrade it to a TDS3052C. I did some searching but, apart from other people asking the same question and one reference to an eBay listing, there isn't much showing up. And I am aware of the thread on the TDS3000(B) series, but those instructions don't work on the C variant (tried it already). Thanks! |

Did you find out how? |

No, unfortunately. |

I’m working on a budget version of my TDS3000 super-plug-in module. It will not only have the 10 pin BDM interface for program/erase the main board flash ROMs, but also a USB port with FT2232H with its extra TTL i/o wired to the BDM interface. Plus of course the DS1744W that takes over from the main board (empty battery...) DS1742W. With that, it should be possible to reflash the ROMs, and, if these scopes are not too different from the TDS3000 no-suffix (or -b) models, then all that’s needed is a PC, and this board plugged into the expansion port on the back side. Plus a ROM image for the TDS3054-c. Have confirmed that with TDS3034 and v3.41 firmware, I can upgrade to TDS3054. Or down to TDS3014. So without going back to v3.39. What i do not have yet is the PC program that does BDM over FT2232. Lots of www examples found for JTAG, but for BDM I need to rebuild from scratch I fear. Unless of course someone reading this already did go through the effort... (please share if you did...). So far I used the Abatron BDI2000 for reflashing TDS3000 scope via BDM. |

If, WHEN, you work out the programming, keep me in mind and make some extra PCBs. I would gladly pay you what you need for the PCB and your software. Dave |
