i.e. the routing pics and the machxo fpgas. should these be auto-updated?

I think this should be integrated with other updates aswell.

Ideally the MachXO2s get loaded (SRAM) with gateware during initialization. For the PICs, probably the best approach is to retrieve a checksum and based on that, decide whether an 'update' is required or not (via ICSP).
