Linux has a dfu-util, device firmware updater. But I've no clue if eaton 
would allow access to do that via its USB interface.  This is obviously 
independent from Nut.

Have you the file to be used to update the EEPROM with?

Here is its help screen, mat or may not be usefull.
Usage: dfu-util [options] ...
