Bugfix Fontpack update for large blocks:
The update of a font pack with a size > 768000 byte was interrupted and a manuel switch to bootloader had to be performed to get the font pack flashed. Rootcause was a missing address adjustment during the block read back function which caused a false error detection. Blocks > 768000 are read in two step while only one buffer is used for comparation. To fill the correct data into this buffer a dummy read of the flash data was added to get the data pointers to the correct offset. Another bug was regardings the read back itself where only the first byte was checked. After array indexing the complete buffer is noch verified.

# 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"
