Flashing via Octoprint?

After relocating the printer to an enclosure in a workshop the logistics of connecting a PC to run the Prusa flash tool can sometimes be difficult/inconvenient.
Has anyone tried flashing with avrdude on an attached raspberry Pi, or through the Octoprint "Firmware Updater" plugin that essentially does the same thing? I believe the appropriate settings for the einsy board are atmega2560 & stk500v2.

I also use octoprint to upgrade my firmware on both my MK2S and MK3. Never had an issue with the process.

What is not mentioned is that if you want to flash via Octoprint, you need to install the FIrmware upgrade plugin for Octoprint. And yes, it works great, done it many times here.

These are what my settings are.

I know this thread is ancient but the above screenshot is the only source I could find on correct settings for a Prusa i3 Mk2 (using 3.2.3 firmware). Hope someone else finds this useful.

Good info, but before some folks discover issues, it should be noted that flashing does not work for systems with Octoprint running on a Pi Zero.  I suspect that that actually means that flashing via Octoprint is only viable on Pi models 3 and above.
