DSO Quadv2.6Manual released..Include the basic operation and upgrade methed. and firmware include :logo related file, FPGA logic file, App.hex and Sys.hex.
NOTE: firmware for HWv2.2 is not compatible with HWv2.6 . DO NOT upgrade HWv2.6 with firmware for HWv2.2

Latest firmware available(2012/04/12):
APP: 2.53
SYS: 1.52
FPGA: 2.61
logo: logo file , do not need to upgrade as you do not want to.
And, a new designer has joined to design the UI. The following firmware available:(2012/02/14) )
APP:AP3_P100
please ref the wiki to track the latest firmware:

Firmwares that needs to be installed into the DSO Quad:
1. CFG_FPGA.ADR + VxxxFPGA.bin. The two files for fpga logic, you need to install the .ADR file and then the .bin file.
2. logo_00B.ADR + logo_001.bin. the logo files, need to install the .ADR file and then the .bin file.
3. APP_Bxxx.hex, the app firmware.
4. SYS_Bxxx.hex, the sys firmware.
when you want to update you firmware, for example, you want to update the app firmware to v2.35 to corrrect the calibration error ,you just need to update the app ,to 2.35, as there is no update in the sys firmware.
you should do:
1. download the app 2.35 zip from below lines.
2.upzip the app, you would see app_B235.hex and DSO Quad Calibration .pdf.
3. connect the Quad to PC via USB , and power Quad with the ">||"pressed.
4.copy the App_B235 to the virtual disk . the virtual disk will auto reset and this file changes to :APP_B235.RDY.
5. Update finished. calibrate the Quad as the DSO Quad Calibration .pdf

updated issue:

14 New UI ,just for testing!!(2011/07/22)
15 app252/sys151/fpga2.6 released..
16.AP3_P100 released, this is not a offical Version
17. APP2.53 and Sys1.52 released(2012/04/12)

APP(V2.32) sourcecode released:
SYS(V1.34) sourcecode released:
APP(V2.35) sourcecode released:
FPGA(V2.5) sourcecode released:

and , for some reason, the sourcecode git change
from:
https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/DSOQuad ... SourceCode
to :
https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/DSOQuad_SourceCode

Is there new firmware?

Can we know what SYS1.34 and APP2.32 change to the previous version?

A change log would be usefull when upgrading Firmware so we know what to expect

I can not upgrade on a Mac, if I boot the device in upgrade mode it continually resets itself so that disk is disappearing faster than I can copy to it. Is there another way, DFU-util or dfuse that I can use.

So I found a Windoze box and it is clear now what the problem is, and it should be simple to fix. Are you interested in fixing it or should I go off and do it myself? I hate seeing forked pools, but this is very annoying. We got the dfuse tool working for the previous mode, not I but others did that which gave us the ability to update from many different platforms. I am not excited by going backwards here.

The DSOQuad HWv2.6 need to upgrade the app/sys/FPGA as the way in the manual because of the BIOS that embeded in the STM32 when Quad was produced . So, DFU-util or dfuse can not be used unless you embeded the related BIOS to the STM32.
as on the Mac, it will be grateful for you sharing your experience that we really lacked .I expececd your detailed introduction

Please tell me what you need to know and I will write it up. On Linux or a Mac the upgrade disk disappears completely every time it checks for new files. (about every second or two) This interrupts copies, or truncates them, and umounts the drive about as fast as the OS can mount it. This makes it so that you can't copy anything reliably. I even tried to write a script to detect the disk had reappears and then did an ordered copy of the files, but that failed as well. Windows seems to tolerate the disk disappearing for a moment, but Linux and Mac os treat it as if the drive was unplugged while active. So the experience on Windows is good, but it is unusable on Mac os or Linux, even from a program trying to interact with it.


Is this what you need or is it something else? I am willing to help, but it is hard to know what someone doesn't know. If I were going to fix it, I would change the embedded code to wait for a button press before disconnecting to check for new/changed files. That way you could succeed on copying the files on, before the system sees the disk go away as it now does.

Hi

We just received our engineering sample today.
As suggested by the developers, we upgraded the APP to 2.33 and the other SYS f/w updates.

However, now the CALIBRATE button does not work.

Please advice.

you may need to pressed this button about 2s...
