Downloading firmware from another CPU

I'm using the Anaren WICED BLE module (A20737-based).  Is it possible to use the HCI (or peripheral) UART connection directly from another CPU on the board to download firmware into the part?  I'm looking for a more elegant way to provision my boards than to have to use the IDE, Anaren Programmer, or the SDK CLI tool.  I'm also looking for a way to eliminate the need for a separate programming connector for the WICED module. 

I've seen others ask a similar question but haven't seen any clues as to how one might do a direct download of firmware into the module.

You may use the UART port of another CPU to download FW into the 20737 via its HCI UART, which is the intended usage.

I am including Anaren here to advise on their SW tools.
