8.1 Upgrade from Linux?
The Ares upgrade instructions say that you have to use a Windows computer to upgrade the firmware on the Likebook Ares.
Has anyone done it with Linux? |

Does it require you to install an updater exe file? Then you may be able to use wine or even mono.

My experience with WINE for firmware updates isn't great. But I'll give it a go if all else fails!

I think it's strange that you can't just copy an update file to the root directory of the ares.
