It is a simple TAR in UStar format. Can be unpacked with any utility. The only problem i can imagine here is to repack it on windows since the package mentioned root as a user. This tar contains all the files of the firmware. The folder structure locks pretty the same for NEX and SLT firmware.
Root folders:
0100_config 0101_config_sum 0300_partconf 0301_partconf_sum 0630_cas 0631_cas_sum 0800_appli 0801_appli_sum
