Originally posted by hvz448 Silly question, would extracting an exe to readme.txt and fwdc165b.bin on Windows 10 machine, then sending them over an CentOS machine (this is an only machine that can interact with an SD-card near me) and then finally copying them into an SD-card work? I wanna be highly confident on probable success before I go on and potentially brick my camera.
Yes, that should work. You only need the .bin file in the root of the SD card, then fit the card to the camera and follow the instructions in the text file.
ABSOLUTELY MUST DO VERY IMPORTANT!
Make absolutely certain your camera battery is fully charged. The only thing that'll 'brick' your camera, assuming no stupidity on the part of the operator
, is if the camera powers down halfway through the procedure. I've updated most if not all of my Pentax DSLRs with no problem.
Good luck
