In this case, heck, no. The whole point of this thing is that it is NOT remotely programmable to keep malware out. If you have a modest and well-defined spec, it is well within our abilities to produce reliable code. People write software for medical devices and vehicle control which is not remotely updated, and both our pacemakers and are cars are adequately reliable. If you define the spec carefully enough that you can expect to make a million devices, the cost of even very expensive software is lost in the noise.
