[REQUEST] Ability to upgrade Texas Instrument coordinator firmware via zigbee2mqtt?

[Hedda]

@Koenkk Requesting this now as @puddly posted in zigpy/zigpy-znp#14 saying that he implemented the serial bootloader protocol (f67e8a4) used by the Windows utility mentioned in Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt#320 into zigpy-znp (a new open-source TI ZNP 3.x client written in Python that is in early development for zigpy and ZHA in Home Assistant) and was able to upgrade flash his already pre-flashed Texas Instruments CC adapter with a newer firmware without using any external tools, so as a standalone application to flash an adapter (in his case he tested it with a CC2531 adapter from ITead which is now known to be shipped with an older firmware from the factory)

• zigpy/zigpy-znp@f67e8a4

ip install zigpy-znp
$ python -m zigpy_znp.tools.flash_read /dev/serial/by-id/radio -o flash.bin
$ python -m zigpy_znp.tools.flash_write /dev/serial/by-id/radio -i flash.bin

Suggest considering adding ability to upgrade Texas Instrument coordinator firmware via zigbee2mqtt.

So not just backup and restore the firmware but update it if bought an adapter that has old firmware.

Best would probably be if users could have this ability if only they first manually download and rename firmware binary image file in a specific format to a predetermined file-name and then place that correctly formatted/named file in a specific directory before being able to issue an "upgrade coordinator firmware" command.

Even more awesome would then be to also add the ability to utilize that ability from a web GUI / UI.

If so it would probably be best to first let the user manually download and unpack the firmware themselves so leave the responsibility to them to make sure it is in the correct format and then having a button in a web GUI / UI for "upgrade coordinator firmware".

More user-friendly would then, of course, be if you users enter a URL source location for automatic download of firmware, like for example https://github.com/Koenkk/Z-Stack-firmware/

cc2538-bsl by JelmerT cc2538-bsl.py python can support the newer serial boot loader to flash upgrade CC13xx, CC2538 and CC26xx SoCs, but for old CC253x bootloader need zigpy-znp method
