Step 4: Send a start firmware download message

  In hex, the data in the message should be:

     75 00 80 cc dd 00

  cc is the most significant byte of the image checksum
  dd is the least significant byte of the image checksum

Ooops.  Switch most and least, above.

Step 5: Send the image data using transfer data messages

  For each chunk, send a message with the following data (in hex):

     xx aa bb cc dd databytes ee

  xx is the message opcode
  aa is the most significant byte of the index of this chunk
  bb is the least significant byte of the index of this chunk
  cc is the most significant byte of the size of this chunk
  dd is the least significant byte of the size of this chunk

And again, twice.
