Do you know whether Onyx is planning a new device release this year or just update the current ones?

Download it and rename to update.upx.

At your own risk. If asked to input pin code, it's 0000 or the one you set when you initialized your system. F.Y.R. just in case.
Is there any way to unpack the contents of this archive in Linux?

This is what i currently get on Debian/Buster:

Code:
$ upx -l 3fbe457d33814c2db14f74a91aaabe3a.upx

If you want to extract something from it or do some research, I remember someone else made it before, but I don't know. I'm a user not a hacker.

How to update locally
a. Download firmware update.upx from our official website.
b. Copy the firmware to root directory of local storage.
c. Go to settings –about – system update , click the button check update from
local storage , follow the instruction to update the device.
d. When update is successful, the device will restart automatically.
Note: Please connect the device with power source or PC to make sure of enough power for update.

Doesnt the device need to be rooted to complete this? How else can I get the update file onto the root directory? I will not have write access.

No, that is the procedure to perform any firmware update.
For 'root directory' is simply meant "that location without a parent location", and in the case of the Onyx device it is "the 'Local storage' location (as opposed to any of its subdirectories)". The filesystem is a tree-shaped structure - any node can contain other many other nodes -, so that node which contains but is not contained is the "root".

And if you could impersonate the "root user", you would have access to the whole tree - hence your confusion.

Couldn't Onyx make their own One Note compatible app or make their note app compatible? I remember there were a couple on iOS before MS launched their own client. Onenote is kinda easy in that regard because it is file based...

The notes taken by the new Boox Knote will kind of integrate with some note apps such as Evernote.
