changing the rigol DS1052E to DS1102E using USB , the dummy guide

[m3vuv]

its the only place i found that still had the firmware,spent nearly a day reading the whole thread with every link dead,this ones good tho,has the stock f/w and modded too.

[m3vuv]

MY PC DONT SUPPORT WIN 11,I USE WIN 7 AND 10,WHAT HAS THAT GOT TO DO WITH THIS TROLL?

[m3vuv]

tell me where i even mentioned xp,quote me!

[gnif]

m3vuv, settle down! Why do I have to keep telling you to do so?

You have no right NOT to be offended by something someone says. If you don't understand this, read it again until it sinks in.

Perhaps politely ASK why @Mechatrommer stated this instead of seeing red and jumping off the cliff again with your rage. Remember you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

tell me where i even mentioned xp,quote me!

This is like saying, "wanna fight? c'mon, let's go!"... how childish.

I use linux, and this possible troll post tells me nothing. I know how to write to a usb key.

[gnif]

I also use Linux... what does your post have to do with what's going on here? The OP mentions executable files for Windows.
Either way, stop saying the post by @Mechatrommer is trolling until you know more, at this time it could simply be a miss communication.

[Mechatrommer]

people contributed to this thread probably now doing other things and forgotten the steps to do the upgrade esp your special D version that they never done/own, so keep asking this and that... do you think can help? or do you expect other people to reread the whole thread for you again? and presents your solution in silver platter?

And if you care to read the thread, iirc there is fw version that you need to downgrade to in order to do usb mod, edit and patch the header to fool the dso etc (google in the net how) , you should read that i wont bother to look again what page for you... and who knows whats your dso's fw revision anyway?

as for me recently, my ds1052e cal data is damaged (or went offed values)  and i have to buy tl866ii xgecu flash programmer to read the whole content. Problem not solved yet because i dont know how to calc or repair cal data offset.. only drieg knows how to do that and he is MIA.. and any imaginations/solutions i've made not giving any good result. I think tl866ii programmer will be a nice buy if you want the unlimited access to your dso mod, save cal data before doing risky mod etc..

[m3vuv]

i understand your last post fully but why mention linux or win 11?,that has nothing to do with what i asked,as i see it there s no way to read and save the scopes original firmware,my orginal post was in the hope someone had done what i am asking and it would of jogged there memory and gave me a reply that actualy has some meaning to what  asked and not try to tout linux or win 11 as the answer,as far as i am concerned that has nothing remotly to do with what  posted!,please correct me if i am wrong here!.

[Mechatrommer]

i understand your last post fully but why mention linux or win 11?

tell me where i even mentioned linux? i thought its obvious that not everybody support what you asked (modding old dso is analogous to obsolete xp), they moved on. hopefully by luck someone can and will, soon...

[m3vuv]

Point understood,but its all i can aford at the moment as out of work due to just having an operation,i have skimmped and scrapped to get this and want to improve/hack it if i can ok,maybe my posts will jog someones memory who has done what in asking,like the saying goes "a squeeking gate always gets oiled" ,if that makes sense??.

[Mechatrommer]

Tbh... the mod is just heart fondling act, the diff between 100 and 50mhz is not much, and nothing compared to the risk of bricking it. You wont try to squeeze it to see 100-400mhz, if you ever reach that point, that means new budget is required. The rigol wont up for the task in anyway, unless you are delusioning something.. Loosing a few ps of risetime is alot better than loosing a $300 scope, mark my word boy..

Hi,
this is the last FW version for the DS1052E. Patched for 100MHz bandwith.
Cheers

this may help as most of the links have died of old age it seems! :https://github.com/szafranski/Rigol_DS1052E-firmware

This link works fine: https://github.com/szafranski/Rigol_DS1052E-firmware

Should my Rigol report back as a different model number after applying that firmware? I applied that, and it still says it is a 1052 on the info page.

My [now 100MHz] DS1052E still says "DS1052E" on the System Info screen.  Change the timebase; you should now be able to drill down to 2ns per div.

Is there an easy way to check that the displayed 2ns timebase value is what the scope actually delivers and it's not simply a fancy text string output on the display?

One way is to use a pulse generator to create a signal with a very short rise time. There are several possibilities to build one by yourself. Have a look at youtube with "oscilloscope pulse generator". They also explain the math and how to calculate the bandwidth of your now hacked scope.

Hello,

No one said yet that there is a newer firmware released in about 2020
DS1000E
00.04.04.00.00
https://www.rigolna.com/firmware/


And if anyone can confirm that he changed one byte in this newer firmware and it worked? there is 0x66 instead of 0x09

Im asking because there are different values on address 0x00019690

I guess you have to do a search for the hex string that precedes the 09, so for the sequence 1089E50100A86108080510. You will find it in address 00019710 now; obviously Rigol has put some other code before this, so it all shifted a bit.

Haven't tried to modify it yet, so please do whatever you want to do at your own risk.

:EDIT: tried this with the 00.02.04.01.02 firmware found in this thread and it worked.

I upgraded my 1052e to 4.04. I cannot downgrade the firmware from 4.02 to 2.02. Can anyone help me? How can I downgrade from 4.04 to 2.02?

[silence012]

I basically have the same issue. I upgraded version to 00.04.04.00.00  and I cannot downgrade it.

I would like to turn my scope to 100MHz, but when adding USB it does not offer upgrade/downgrade.

Is there anyone successfully switched scope to 100MHz from 00.04.04.00.00

[szafranski]

I added some link to the repo:

https://github.com/szafranski/Rigol_DS1052E-firmware

maybe helpful?

Good morning,

This topic seems to be still active, so I have a few questions.
1) When you recover a completely bricked  scope , how can you identify the hardware version?
On the motherboard it is noted Dem07 and 94HV. Moreover there is no high voltage part on the power supply for the display.
Any other clues?

2)Can someone provide a full dump (8MB) for hardware version 57 and one for hardware version 58. I don’t know what the changes on a HW57 and 58 are and their consequences on the app.

3)Try some tests with Jtag and a Wriggler (Lol very long ...) Not sure parameters of Adron are sure of 100%, in particular the config of static pins.

see here  page 7:  https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/the-dark-side-of-the-rigol-hack-bricked-scope-how-to-fix-it/150/       
Has anyone succeeded with Jtag and a Wriggler programmer.
If he can share his config

Thanks

Hi, Looking at the github link you posted above
It appears that the files in the folder for the 00.04.04 100MHz_Modded are possibly actually NOT MODDED???
Because when I go into that folder the files inside are listed as "non-modded 50MHz" 
Is this a mistake??  Or possibly I don't understand what is being posted there??
It seems that by mistake the non-moded files are in the wrong folder which is labeled "modded"

I have an DS1052E that is currently on FW version 00.04.04 and I would like to do the update to 100MHz

EDIT:
I have resolve the question and was able to mod my DS1052E to be 100 MHz as I described later in this thread.

Hello,

I went through hundreds of pages on this subject.

I see no information to discern the Hardware model from the board. (007, 057, 058, others??).
Does anyone know how to find it physically.
Is it marked hard somewhere? (Circuit 2404?)

Looking at dumps, a hardware version seems to be in
001FFD0. (I found 058 on one dump and 057 on another)
How does this information update?

In addition, there is a Cyclone III that is never mentioned on posts  and possibly a Jtag port? (Is it the one near the Jtag port of Lattice?)
Is there no internal programming or it updates at startup with blackfin?

If you have any feedback.
