I did a IC Identification for the back side of the Main PCB of this device:
Thanks CChin254, I guess I like your style a bit better then what I did here:
https://gitlab.com/riglol/rigolee/-/wikis/MSO5000-teardownThough as I want to keep it as one picture, I'll have to see how that can be done; but some new items here is good!
Btw, the reason my picture looks so 'weird' is that it's very high-res close ups and double sides overlayed. But for the chip identification, using a clear single sided picture probably works better

Also, I'm in agreement with
Hi CChin254 I do not understand why they use Spartan 6 for communication between Kintex and Zynq the both Kintex and Zynq have a Gigabit Transceivers the more efficiently would be use GTX for sending data between Zynq and Kintex...
Probably Spartan 6 placed for other purposes...
I don't think the Spartan sits there exactly like that, as we can very clearly see the high speed communication lines between the Zynq and the Kintex7 (especially on X-ray). So are you certain that the Spartan6 is not some sort of 'controller'. IIRC the spartan6 only has a (slow) SPI link ... It's been too long since looking at the architecture, and sure want to pick it up again
