[hpsdr] Can hpsdr fpga firmware be temporarily updated by an application in realtime?

[amsctalx at comcast.net]

Skimmer Server does indeed load its own complete FPGA image to the QS1R, and is replaced by the standard image the next time that SDRMAX is started.

I'm wondering if Hermes/Angelina/... can have an application temporarily 
update it's firmware to provide temporary feature just needed for that app 
without burning it in to flash? 

This seems to be the case (works) for the QS1R SDR when using an app like 
CW Skimmer. 

I'm hoping this is the case for hpsdr as well since currently version 2.5b for 
Hermes limits the number of rcvrs to 5 for Skimmer and version 1.8 allows 
up to 7. 

Sorry if this has been discussed, I did try to search for answers before asking 
here but didn't find any hits.
