Uploading firmware with XMODEM/YMODEM

XMODEM and YMODEM are protocols that enable reliable file transfers over a serial connection (UART). They were designed 50 years ago to improve the reliability of data transfers over analog telephone lines, and one might have expected them to have disappeared completely by now. However, there are still a few specific cases where they are widely used, which is why we have just added native support for these protocols in our serial communication modules.

Yocto-FontEditor: A new font editor

Quite early on in the development of the Yocto-Display-ePaper-C, we realized that the four fonts 8x8, small, medium, and large, which are included in the OLED display firmware, might not be sufficient due to the high resolution of the ePaper displays compatible with this new module. Rather than adding more arbitrarily chosen fonts and taking up space in the module's firmware, we decided to rewrite a new font editor from scratch to make it more practical and easier to use than the original editor, which no one seems to know exists....
