I'm not aware that you can update the firmware from within linux : you
need to have it connected to a windows machine.  You can then update
the firmware, at which point it should be a regular usb device, which
you can access from linux (although I haven't actually done the latter
with my iriver device....)

http://www.iriveramerica.com/support/ums.aspx

has some details, but looks kinda old.  Have a hunt around the iriver
support site for "ums" etc, and you should find the appropriate one
for your model.
