The convention when describing commands is that compulsory parameters are enclosed in "< >" whilst optional ones are enclosed in "[ ]", so the "-F <firmware image>" means "replace <firmware image>" with the path to the .bin file".

So, for instance:

flasher-3.5 -F /home/magick/Downloads/RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.203.1_PR_COMBINED_203_ARM.bin -f -R

Oh, and you don't have to type all that. Linux supports tab-completion, so I would type "/h" (tab) "m" (tab) "Down" (tab) "RX-" (tab) and the shell fills it in. Much nicer than a DOS prompt.

Glad you got it sorted, though.
