Das Oszi

= Description =

These series of Digital Oscilloscopes use a standard ARM9 processor and are shipped with linux. The various models can be hacked to add additional features. These pages aim to document as much as possible to foster a wider community of developers for these DSO's.

Components

 * 7" 800 x 480 color LCD Display
 * Samsung S3C2440 ARM9 System On Chip (SoC)
 * ISSI [[media:IS42S16160C.pdf|IS42S16160C-7TLI]] SDRAM (2 x 256Mbit = 64Mbyte)
 * Samsung [[media:K9F1208U0C.pdf|K9F1208U0C]] Nand Flash (1 x 512Mbit = 64Mbyte)
 * ISSI [[media:IS61LPS25636A.pdf|IS61LPS25636A]] static ram ( 1 x 9Mbit = 1.125Mbyte)
 * Altera MAX-II [[media:EPM240T100C5N.pdf|EPM240T100C5N]] CPLD (complex Programmable Logic Devices)
 * 4 x Analog Devices [[media:AD9288.pdf|AD9288]] ADCs (yes, for 1GSs overclocked to 125MHz in 8ns, 4ns and 2ns time base - like Instek GDS1102A)
 * 2 x Analog Devices [[media:AD8370.pdf|AD8370]] amps (750MHz bw - input stage like Rigol)
 * 2 x TI [[media:LMH6552.pdf|LMH6552]] amps (1.5GHz bw - input stage like Rigol)
 * Analog Devices [[media:ADCMP562.pdf|ADCMP562]] ECL comparator (for trigger)
 * Altera Cyclone III FPGA (ADC sampling control and data acquisition)

Firmware

 * Tekway Bootloader (modify from mizi vivi)v0.10.0 (root@rain-fc4) (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)) #0.1.4 Tue Dec 1 10:51:38 CST 2009
 * Linux version 2.6.13 (root@rain-fc4) (gcc version 3.4.1) #3 Wed Jun 29 10:13:03 CST 2011
 * Bootlog from the stock Hantek firmware
 * Linux kernel uses the FriendlyARM QQ2440 machine type #1998
 * current firmware update from Hantek (does not include all of the firmware just updates)
 * uses 3 mtd nand flash partitions
 * bootloader(raw)
 * kernel(raw)
 * root filesystem (YAFFS2)

To decrypt firmware update: - download the .up file from Hantek/Tekway website - download and install GPG - run gpg -d dstxxxxxxx.up > dstxxxxxx.gz (when asked for password type 0571tekway) - gunzip the dstxxxxxx.gz - untar the resulting file (it is dstxxxxxx. ) - untar again the resulting DST1000_4000.tar

To create new/custom firmware - tar the folder "tekwayup_client" and the upend file to dst1000_4000.up.tar - tar the resulting dst1000_4000.up.tar to DST1KB_version.tar and remove the .tar extension (for example dst1kb_2.06.8(101231.0) ) - Gzip the DST1KB_version to DST1KB_version.gz and remove the .gz extension - encrypt with gpg -c DST1KB_version (when asked for key type 0571tekway) - Rename the resulting DST1KB_version.gpg to DST1KB_version.up

What important to know : - if you type/use wrong password or Tekway/Hantek change the password, your DSO will still not get bricked because the update will get canceled - use "move" instead of "copy" in "update" script (or chmod 777 filename after copy) - ensure that whatever inside folder "tekwayup_client" is listed in upend file too (this means the "upend" file is a list of files and folders contained in "tekwayup_client" folder - but not subfolders and subfiles!)

ARM JTAG

 * Samsung S3C2440 is fully supported with OpenOCD
 * Inexpensive JTAG tools
 * Flyswatter2 from TinCanTools
 * Flyswatter from TinCanTools
 * JTAG USB OCD Tiny from Sparkfun

UART
The UART TX and RX signals are at +3.3v TTL level which requires a RS232_Level_Shifter if connecting to a standard RS-232 interface or to a standard USB-to-RS232 adapter. A wide range of USB-to-TTLUART adapters are available including the following:


 * DLP Design FT232R Based Adapter
 * Sparkfun FT232R Based Adapter
 * Nokia CA-42 cable can be used for easy access
