Samsung may not be supported yet, but there is a Linux tool called fwupd and the client is fwupdmgr. http://www.fwupd.org/users https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd For computers with UEFI firmware, the built-in firmware often has a firmware update specific option and will accept a (hopefully signed only) payload which you can download from the manufacturer. I know that the Intel NUC offers this method. Their firmware also offers a way for the firmware itself to download its own updates, obviating the need for a USB stick entirely. For computers with BIOS firmware, the manufacturer should offer a bootable ISO that you can burn to optical media. Windows was not required. And Samsung has used this same approach for updating SSD firmware, where it boots the computer using FreeDOS and then applies the firmware to the SSD - this was the "Mac OS" compatible download option, hilariously enough.
You could also try freedos: http://www.freedos.org/ I always keep a small USB drive around with it for just such emergencies. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Which is worse: ignorance or apathy?
