On this mailing list, I recently requested a similar thing, namely a cross-platform command-line firmware updater for all Elecraft devices, specifically one that includes Raspbian. I did not get a response from anyone at Elecraft. Obviously, my suggestion is not quite the same thing as what Andy is asking for, but it must be very clear at this point that plenty of people have their rigs hooked up to their RPi's, and it would be nice to have some Elecraft software for that use.
