Help with AX12 linux firmware flash

[Ax12-dr]

Hey,

I'm trying to flash custom firmware on an AX12 through a USB2Dynamixel (no CM5). I've looked all over and couldn't find good instructions for that, is it even possible?

From what i've read I'm supposed to enter #'s while powering up the servo, can I do that from Putty?
I know about the bin file that needs to be created and sent, I'm just looking for a way to transfer the file with linux.

Thanks!

I've downloaded soft to CM-510 using Linux, is somewhat tricky, but possible; but I've not updated AX-12 firmware using Linux.

Too bad, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

I guess I could buy a fitpc-2 or fitpc-3 and run XP on it with enough power, But the Walkera RC Hélicoptère is a lot bigger and heavier than the roboard thus i see possibly having to go to ax18's or better. Thanks for the help.
