If that’s all you need. I bet you could just run it from WINE. I updated my PS5 controller using the PlayStation flash tool or whatever it’s called. I used Bottles to do all the WINE stuff. Just installed the flash tool and it worked like it was Windows. Pretty shocked if I’m being honest.
With WINE you wouldn’t need USB pass-through. Only if you are passing the hardware into a Virtual Machine. The pass-through just tells the Host system not handle the device. But you actually want the HOST system to handle the device. WINE is just translation, not virtualization. (or Emulation, haha)
P.S. USB pass-through does work really well in VM’s. If WINE doesn’t work for you. You could always keep around a Windows VM for the occasion you need the msm flash tool.
Msm flash tool, I need windows for this
