How to update the firmware of 8BitDo's gamepads without using Upgrade Tools

In the past 8BitDo offered the firmware files for their gamepads as downlodable ZIP archives on their support site. But for their more recent versions, the Upgrade Tool is required in order to download and flash the firmware onto their gamepads. Unfortunately there is no native linux version of the Upgrade Tool available as of today.
