I heard quite a few complains about window based update.  If it works,
it is great.  If it does not work as expected, you can't anything
about it.

I like to hear more experience about using Linux-based
flashing update, i.e., using prsim2_dl or prsim2_srec.
If I get some clear clues, I think I am willing to try it out.
