Hi Luis,

HCI does not support uploading firmware. But HCI does provide options 
for vendor specific commands that can be used for uploading firmware as 
long as your device has enough intelligence to understand the command 
when it comes.

This is what we do for AR300x serial devices. We do not download 
firmware,  but we do download all configuration entries as VS HCI commands.
