This was done eons ago in the form of a command-line utility; see the
misc/ezload port. I have also made a few changes as well. If you have
questions as to how it works / etc, let me know.
I personally prefer to do the firmware load & renumeration (the reboot
onto the loaded firmware) in userspace. Just add an entry like this in
/etc/usb.conf:
device "Some Device"
vendor 0xaaaa
product 0xbbbb
release 0xcccc
attach "/usr/local/bin/ezdownload -v /dev/${DEVNAME}"
The device will attach as a ugen, then the firmware will be downloaded,
the device reset, and then it will reattach as whatever it renumerates
as.
Put the firmware file in /usr/local/share/usb/firmware.
