Whilst you can do that, it's certainly easier to just install the add-on on 4.2.x
You would need to extract the contents of the add-on, install flashrom and manually run the command to do it via SSH on OS6.

I saw this post, full of information !
I found some bios update process for pro pioneer RNDP600E
My question is : Are Pro 2 and Pro 6 pioneer based on the same architecure.
Can I update bios through the same process or it will brick my NAS ?

The Pro 2 uses a different BIOS but the ROM is included in the same add-on. You would need to use the command to install the Ultra/Pro 2 BIOS, not the Pro Pioneer/Pro BE/Pro 6 BIOS
