Doesn't work like that. The firmware update is written for the SMC D3GN Gateway itself. It's exactly the same as a bios update (firmware for a particular model motherboard).
All SMC D3GN series bios are coded the same with some custom code added for the particular ISP (ISP code not present in original factory firmware).
A firmware/bios flash checks hardware (in this case SMC D3GN) then does a hash check on the installed firmware to determine installed version then proceeds with the flash (if necessary).
They're all .BIN files and they're all written to support the SMC D3GN series hardware within.......
