Dev Bugfix: Alignment problem in lifedata structure:
Since the introduction of the 64 bit DigO2 sensor ID the potential risk of a misalignment is present in the lifedata structure. E.g. If a new 8bit variable is added in front of the data structure containing the 64bit value. To avoid this in future the sensor data structure which may contain the 64bit value has been moved to the top of the structure (first element)

# 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"
