Added new section "lower.font":
To avoid section overlap caused by the memory needs of the new characters, a new section has been introduced to store the font data behind the code and data sections. The handling is a little bit overengineered but was used to have the same look as the upper section, where a defined structure had to be rebuild to match the output of another compiler. moving the lower section behind the upper would save firmware space but result in the need of a new fontlib version.

# How to Make an Uploadable Firmware File for the OSTC4 # Generated BIN files from the SMT32 Workbench need modification in order to be installed via the OSTC Companion onto the OSTC4. ## Build Command Line Tools ## These can be found in /ostc4pack (For Windows, CPP sources available) ## Run the Tools Manually ## 1. Copy generated BIN files (From the Release or debug directory) into /ostc4pack. Or: Modify .bat files to point to your Release or debug directory. 2. run step1_create_OSTC_RTE_upload.bat and/or step1_create_OSTC4_firmware_upload_bin.bat (Depending on which part you made changes) 3. run step2_create_OSTC4update_bin.bat to create final OSTC4update_xxxxxx.bin, with xxxxxx being the current date in YYMMDD format. This will add important checksums required for the OSTC4's bootloader to accept the file. ## Upload this file with the OSTC Companion software to the OSTC4 ## See http://forum.heinrichsweikamp.com/read.php?7,19186 on how to get and use the "OSTC companion"
