* If the module detects that the file will not fit in the available memory when the file size has been
transmitted, it will send 0x08 instead of 0x01. In this case, the host should cease transmission. The module
will return to a ready state.
From this point, the module treats all data as raw and just stores it away. The module will store the
data, then read it back from memory and send the read value back to the host. If the host system receives
an incorrect echo, it should send status as 0x08 instead of 0x01. This will terminate the transfer. Upon
termination, the module will delete the partially completed file and return to a ready state.
5.4.3 A Sample Font File
Below is a short sample font file containing only the letters "h", "i" and "j". First we need to define the
font size. For this example we’ll use a 5x7 pixel font. Next, we have to draw the bitmaps for each of the
characters.
