Hi.
1. Download Latest RigolPacker.
2. Download Lastest firmware file (for example 00.04.04.04.03).
3. RigolPacker > Open Firmware file.
4. Double click at /sys/logo.hex (/sys/SparrowConfig.hex for MSO version) then click "Show content".
5. Click "Save to file", edit saved picture (I using Paint.Net), click "Change image" and load changed file.
6. Close All windows in reverse order, in main RigolPacker window click "Save firmware file".
7. Copy saved firmware file to USB Flash and update your ds1054z.

if, as a result of a firmware update, the sparrow in your ds1054z is dead, copy original firmware to USB Flash and spam "Help" button while ds1054z booting after power on. CH1 must start blinking.

thanks. worked.

Please help with the restoration of Rigol DS1054Z. In the oscillograph there was firmware 00.04.04.04.03, mixed up the update file, instead of DS1000Z downloaded DS1000Z-E versions of 00.06.02.00 01 from here https://www.rigolna.com/firmware/. The set received an update, rebooted and as a result works, but there are no two channels, channels 1 and 2 work. Channels 3 and 4 are not enabled. As I realized - poured firmware for DS1202Z-E. Tried to upgrade with the 00.04.04.04.03 version, but the set does not see the update... Help restore the DS1054Z, please.

Move from this thread as it is out of topic.

You have 2 solutions: ask Rigol for a FW that solves (their error) or change the FW yourself. There is enough information in this forum on how to change the version number (of the FW package) to allow flashing over a newer one.

I tried to recolor CH3 ray, but I was able to recolor only the labels of the left menu Thanks konnor for help with repack. There are no ideas yet on how to change the color. ...

Hi Serj,

Why would you want to change the colour of the CH3 ray? It now corresponds with the colour used on the front panel.
BTW, I used your software, the one with the simplified GUI, because it's awesome. Thanks for sharing.  I changed the logo pic into this one:

Great reading and information. I have learned a lot. Was not able to back-level my 1074Z Plus to get a memory dump, but was able to change the boot screen with RigolPacker and some editing. The 1074Z needs a 800x480 BMP, so I resized Rob040's TestBleed.

Good stuff! I've changed the boot screen to a Matrix theme. Thanks Userli!

(tested at ds1054z, base FW 00.04.04.04.03, project folder https://yadi.sk/d/-GBWnMQ16S703g)

That's exactly what I wanted to do as well, to make it more distinct from channel 4. Anybody made any progress here?

I imagine the FPGA is what draws the traces into the framebuffer.

A bit of OT but, for the record, may be useful to others who want to verify Rigol CRC's:

The CRC-16 that Rigol uses in the DG5000 is a "customized" CRC-16 with the following parameters:

width=16 poly=0xA011 init=0x1008 refin=false refout=false xorout=0x0000 check=0xAC1A residue=0x0000 name="CRC-16/RIGOL 1"

The CRC-16 that Rigol uses in the DG4000 is a "customized" CRC-16 with the following parameters:

width=16 poly=0xA011 init=0x0528 refin=false refout=false xorout=0x0000 check=0x147D residue=0x0000 name="CRC-16/RIGOL 3"

The CRC-16 that Rigol uses in the DG1000 is a "customized" CRC-16 with the following parameters:

width=16 poly=0xA011 init=0xFFFF refin=false refout=false xorout=0x0000 check=0x5CC1 residue=0x0000 name="CRC-16/RIGOL 4"

Many Rigol equipments use this variation:

width=16 poly=0x1021 init=0xEBCC refin=false refout=false xorout=0x0000 check=0x6809 residue=0x0000 name="CRC-16/RIGOL 2"

And, other Rigol equipments (that include a CRC-16), use the more common:

width=16 poly=0x1021 init=0xFFFF refin=false refout=false xorout=0x0000 check=0x29b1 residue=0x0000 name="CRC-16/CCITT-FALSE"


Edit1: Included a parsing of many Rigol file types (showing the CRCs).
Edit2: Added Rigol 2 CRC16 type.
Edit3: Added Rigol 3 and 4 CRC16 types.

How did you get those specs for the CRCs? Is there software you can run that takes as input a known piece of text and its CRC value, and can output the parameters needed to generate that CRC value from the known text?

I have my own tool but a good inspiration is here.

I added the possibility to see the boot loader details to RigolPacker.

Hello. Do you have such a utility for working with ds1102z-e?
