Hi
I was wondering if anyone ever hacked these ESA spectrum analyzers to enable options?

some options like 1DR and 1DS (or even 1D5 for S/N > 4421) can be enabled by license key only

I have the same question! Specifically I want to enable the RF Preamp option. (the hardware should be there) Wondering if I can set a bit in the EEprom on the processor card. OR maybe figure out the key(s) based on the serial number.

Anyone?

I have heard that these analyzers have been cracked but people who know how it's done, won't disclose anything  :-//

I have an idea but it would be tedious and slightly dangerous...

Pull the EEPROM (processor board - an assumption on my part) from a unit that has some options enabled, and read that.
Put it back, disable an option or two, remove it again and reread, then look for changes.

Ug!

disabling the option in the menus does not remove it from the EEPROM

I am pretty sure someone has found a way to enable the options but it is not shared....

If it's the same as the N1996a CSA and the E7495 it uses FlexLM, I'm the one to blame for the "enhancement" and I have no problem to have a look at these machines as they are discontinued anyway. Does anyone have root access to these machines already?

that would be awesome. unfortunately I don't have root access . I think N1996A is a much newer machine than ESA series...but of course they might be using the same os

Can you see what format the license code should be? That would probably show if it is FlexLM or something else.
I just downloaded the firmware upgrade but it is 9 discs  |O And the other version for older OS does not run on my PC.

actually I personally do not have one of these analyzers but have been hunting for one for quite some time. if there is a way to enable some non-hardware options then it would be awesome...I have worked with them though...

maybe this page will help?

I think you may be able to just concatenate the five ESAFW files, though I'm not completely sure - there might be a header on each.

There are references in the source to FlexLM, and an RTOS named pSOS.

So it runs on some kind of *nix, it is FlexLM and the license file is here: /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.
The bad news is that the bytes that have to be patched in the other instruments are not to be found in the ESAFW file.

So, is there any way to communicate with the ESA, is there a prompt on a serial port? I don't think it has ethernet..
Is there a harddisk inside that is readable? [Edit] No, it's flash.

Not sure what you are trying to convey here. The ESA instruments use the MC68LC040 (integer only version) and as far as I know do not have a "traditional" OS at all, unlike the newer units.

If there is a way to interrogate the system, I would love to know how!

I'm trying to find a way into the ESA to be able to patch the FlexLM part. It looks like the code disassembles fine as a Coldfire processor but you could be right that it is a 68LC040. It looks like it's not that different and it disassembles fine. The method I used to get around the FlexLM stuff in the other instruments is always returning "ok" on an entered license but you have to patch the FlexLM daemon. If you can't get to the file that is going to be difficult so I'm looking at the install.o file to see how it works and if there is a way to install a patched file, that's basically it :)

Yeah, not much differs I think between those processors, at least basic op codes. Coldfire is newer than the old MOT 680xx.
As mentioned, don't think these run HP-UX, Windows or any such OS. So no idea if there is anything resembling a file system.
Although it has A: and C: drives (floppy and flash) so who knows! If it's there, you do not see it when the system boots.

No, the preamp option is not just software. It actually does have a hardware preamp after the input that can be turned on and off.

Have you succeeded? Do you have JTAG access?

I gave up looking at the install file (can't remember why) and I don't have the hardware myself so the motivation is low.

My turn to chime in.    I just got ahold of a broken E4407B from Alltest.   I will be posting a blog about the repair once it arrives
in the mean time,  this is a topic I am also interested in.   I'd love to enable any of the license only options I could.

everything I see says this is not linux at all which I think we agree on
I don't think FLExm is involved,   they would have had to port it to their proprietary software which seems a waste.

I wonder if you could brute force this over SCPI.    you can enter the license that way.
be interesting to get a few options done.

Me first, I have to wait for mine to arrive then figure out what's broke

Does anyone have the actual CLIP for this I could borrow.   I have the scanned version and even it the schematics are hard to read
also anyone have a handle they are not using?   Ill post in the wanted section but thought I would ask

edit:   I need to walk back the statement over FLEXLM.    it is part of the code as was pointed out by @Miek and the OS is PSOS as also pointed out

Does anyone have a Personality Disk from any of the options and/or a license file
I need your hostID also if anyone is willing to share

Sandra,

Can you extract your /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat ?

Do you have JTAG access?

I don't have JTAG access yet.   
my SA has no licenses so its' not the best unit to work with.
my plan is to try several things.
the Serial Port to see if any boot info show up and to see if something I saw is correct as it looks like you can dumb memory thru the serial interface or SCPI interface.

JTAG is a boundary scan only interface on the 68040.   
I haven't seen any predefined targets for 68040 in OCD

A memdump, a boot log, etc. Everything helps.

Hum
I read out the boot rom and did the string search there and found some interesting things in there
like a Rom Monitor, GDB, breakpoints, member dump etc...   hummmm

Im going to have to get hooked up the J1 Port RS232
