Any thoughts on show this could be scripted and run? We would like to be able to have a customer in the field do this without having to do anything but send a command from the user app, insert the USB drive and reboot.

If the cpu doesn't have any register for rebooting reason, you can write in environment a variable
that said that you want update at the next reboot and then using and autoscript you can flash it
