There's a wiki page that describes how to upgrade the board firmware using an upgrade MicroSD card. A procedure that is described involves an SD_Firmware_Tool.exe binary, it's obviously for Windows. Is there a Linux way to make an SD card that will upgrade the firmware?

* Maybe devs a Linux script that allows to do this. If yes can you share this?
* Maybe I can create an update image on Windows just once, save the file, identify where the actual firmware image is and just replace this part of the file to make a new upgrade SD image

The MicroSD update method is more appealing since the button is not very easy to access, but I don't really want to use Windows for this. Maybe once to create a sample image

Currently, it is not supported to make SDcard in Linux. There may be program support later

In fact, update with SD card is less efficient
Use USB cable, connect linux PC and 3588S-PC (type C), then run command "reboot loader" in 3588S
It will reboot and enter download mode, you don't need to press any buttons...
Then return to PC, use "sudo upgrade_tool uf xxx.img" to update firmware.
The download speed through USB is faster than SD card.
