Your scope can always be recovered as long as you have the image from the Installation: the worst case is writing it to a card again.
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| The stock system starts instead of OOS | One-shot mode, or the loader refused OOS. Check with boot/switch.py show, then select OOS again |
| Start-up screen stops at a step | Read the step on the screen. Logs are in /tmp/oos-boot.status and /tmp/oos-cold.log over telnet |
| "Start-up stopped" after a quick restart | OOS needs a real power cycle: off at the mains, wait 30 seconds |
| A new build misbehaves | System > Roll back update |
| Analyser view will not go away | The three dots at the top right, then Exit |
| Rigol logo stays on every start, or a black screen | See If something goes wrong |
| Ethernet at 10 Mbit/s after a cold start, 100 after replugging | From 0.1.6 OOS negotiates again by itself; else replug. Please report it with /tmp/oos-ui.log
|
| Files dated 2013 | The scope has no clock battery: System > Date and time (from 0.1.6) |
| The web remote makes the scope's screen slow | Fixed in 0.1.6 |
| An update from 0.1.6 says the image brings another device tree | Install 0.1.7 first, then the latest (Updates and Going Back) |
| Nothing helps | Write your card image to the second card again |
A start with an overclock that does not finish sets the setting aside by itself.
When you report a problem, please add the build from System > About OOS and /tmp/oos-boot.status.
