2.3 Command description
This chapter describes the format of serial bus data frames. The distinction between frames is made using
the CMD fields representing the command (or action) to carry out.
The types of available commands can be split into three categories:
• Control type commands
• Application commands
• Service type commands
2.3.1 Control commands
These commands are used for low-level acknowledgement of serial frames.

type that was supported and understood.
