I'm pretty sure you can just load the firmware onto the sd card and install it from the camera directly. This is what I've done with the nx1.

As a Linux user I've never had access to any of Samsung's camera apps. I've updated all my cameras (NX10 right up to NX1) and lenses directly from card. Works perfectly well and is probably quicker.

As a precaution, once the update has been successful I always delete the .bin file form the card immediately. Don't want to accidentally 'brick' another NX model by mistake.

I've sourced all my firmware updates from this excellent site;

Not sure if it's still active.

Bricking it is what I am trying to avoid.
