Added button lock after wakeup in surface mode: During setup of diveequipment the OSTC4 is sometimes operated unintended (e.g. while equipping the jaket). To avoid this it is now possible to activate a button lock in the button lock sensitivity menu. The OSTC4 will then wakeup as usuall but if the diver wants to oerate the menus he has to press the buttons in a certain order. The button to be pressed is indicated by a blue bar. The button lock is deactivated in dive mode.

# 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.
