Still no go on Cross-Flashing to SVA FW.
I have a new SSA3021X_PLUS with V3.2.2.5.1R1. Following electr_peter post 1619 I have made it to step IV) "Update with Siglent stock firmware for SVA1032X 3.2.2.4.0 (cross-flash SSA -> SVA).
I have a 1GB USB card, formatted FAT32, 4K clusters.
Attempted to upgrade to :
SVA1000X_V3.2.2.5.0.ADS - Screen changes to "Upgrading now, please wait" and after ~2 minutes it goes back to the U-Disk dir screen (reboot does not occur).
and after being unsuccessful, I attempted:
SVA1000X_V3.2.2.5.1R1.ADS - Screen changes to "Upgrading now, please wait" and after ~2 minutes it goes back to the U-Disk dir screen (reboot does not occur).
The two files I tried above are from the
https://siglentna.com/service-and-support/firmware-software/ site.
I realize now, the *.ADS files being used in the cross-flashes are modified with a hex editor. ---------------------------------------------------------------
So the *.ADS file needs to be modified using tv84s method in post:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/hack-of-sigllent-spectrum-analyzer-ssa3021x/msg4249003/#msg4249003Addressing V3.2.2.5.1R1 by creating a "hex mod" for V3.2.2.5.1R1 in post 2017:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-ssa3000x-spectrum-analyzers/2000/Update:
I did the hex editor change as seen in post 2017 by tv84.
No change on the upgrade behavior:
SVA1000X_V3.2.2.5.1R1.ADS - Screen changes to "Upgrading now, please wait" and after ~2 minutes it goes back to the U-Disk dir screen (reboot does not occur). Tried three time. 1GB, Fat32, 4k cluster USB card.
Per directions in post 1619, my static is:
<upgrade_static_id>11403</upgrade_static_id>
should it be back to :
<upgrade_static_id>11411</upgrade_static_id>
as discussed in post 2016 by sbehnke?
Update:
Bicurico is post 2023 addresses the double product ID:
Editing the SVA FW in an hex editor serves the purpose of changing the ID so that an SSA will accept it.
Changing the ID on the device is not necessary. If you do that you need to use the original SVA FW.
Doing both is reversing the mismatch and means you don't know what you are doing. Take a couple of hours and read through the relevant posts before bricking your device.
I'm changing back to :
<upgrade_static_id>11411</upgrade_static_id>
as discussed in post 2016 by sbehnke?
Update:
Telnet'ed back into and changed back to 11411:
<upgrade_static_id>11411</upgrade_static_id>
Upgrade the FW to SVA1000X V3.2.2.5.1R1 and it took this time
(1st attempt and with my primary USB 16GB flash drive)SVA1000X_V3.2.2.5.1R1.ADS - Screen changes to "Upgrading now, please wait" and after ~2 minutes it rebooted with VNA as an option (in Sys info) and "Vector Network Analyzer" in Modes.
Product Info:
Still shows SSA3032X Plus as Model
...even after a couple of power cycles. VNA enabled and needs to be ops checked. All options Valid: Permanent, good to 3.2GHz.
I'm happier - thanks again for posting progress updates as times change.
