You can use an Android phone to update the Katana, as the update is just a matter of downloading a file, unzipping it (decompress file),
start up the Katana in update mode (holding Panel and CH1 buttons during power on),
copying/pasting or moving the two files the were unzipped from the System Program update (firmware) download into the folder which is called "KATANA" after the Katana is plugged in the Phone USB (charger) port,
after the files are transferred, disconnect the USB cable,
then initiating the update by pressing the Panel button, wait 2 minutes, then power off/ power on the Katana.

There is also an editor/librarian app on Android PlayStore for the Katana (3rd party one, not the one for the Boss AIR).

For both purposes above you will need an USB 'OTG' (on the go) cable and a printer (USB A to USB B) type cable.
