BugFix firmware downgrade to version with less settings: If a downgrade to a firmware version using less setting parameter were done then the settings had been reset to the default values. Root cause was that only increased number of settings was accepted by the read function. Because the layout of the setting structure is fixed (only bytes attached, no change in the order of data values) a downgrade just discarding the no longer used settings is possible => Updated read function to handle reduction of setting parameters.

# 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.
