But perhaps you could write your own updating
utility, Bruce. While I have an RPi2 running
Linux, etc. I'm very happy with the OS-dependent
utilities we have now. Likely a command line
utility would not be as capable and could cause
problems if the command line was not just so.

Hi folks,
As the subject suggests, I'd like to put in a feature request, for a
simple, command line firmware updater tool, for all applicable Elecraft
rigs. To update the firmware on my KX3 and PX3, I need to download and set
up two separate programs, most of whose functionality I won't ever need.
Such a tool would be easy for Elecraft to write and maintain, and would be
easy to make work on different platforms, which brings me to the next part
of this feature request. I'd like to be able to run this tool both on my
Intel Linux machines, and my Raspberry Pi, which is hooked up to my KX3 and
PX3 whenever my KX3 is home. Cross-compiling such a simple tool should also
be pretty easy.
I'm sure there are other people who're in similar situations, and would
appreciate something to address these use cases. Firmware updates are one
of the few things where you can't roll-your-own.
