Data format
The data format, also referred to as a command, is the same for both the Command section
and the Response section. The data format of the SPI Protocol is straightforward, as
illustrated in Figure 7.
Figure 7. SPI protocol data format
The total length of a command must not exceed 128 bytes.
All commands must begin with the SPI Byte. Some commands are only two bytes—that is,
they contain the SPI Byte and Frame Terminator only.
