Improvment key event detection: In previous version the evaluation of a button event was called in the 100ms callback. Assuming an event is signaled at the in line for 100ms there is a potential risk to loose a button event. To avoid this scenarion the evaluation function was moved into the extint callback (called ~50+xms) and the line readback tim was reduced to 40ms. Reminder: This function is not called in the main loop because the main loop is not executed in UART mode => movement would cause key events to not beeing detected

# 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 ##
