27. The system of claim 26, wherein the socket structure is part of the host.
S(tart bit): Start Bit. Always ‘0’.
D(irection): Direction. Always ‘1’, indicates transfer from host to card.
DMA Direction: ‘1’ means that the data is transferred from IO to Memory, ‘0’ means that data is transferred from Memory to IO
IO Function Number: The number of the function within the IO modules the host wishes to read/write from/to the Memory module.
OP Code: Defines the IO address to ‘0’—fixed address, ‘1’—incrementing address.
IO Register Address: Start address of IO register to read or write.
Block Count: Number of data blocks to be transferred in the DMA operation.
Stuff bit: has no meaning, always ‘0’.
CRC 7: 7 bits of the command cyclic redundancy check (CRC).
E(nd bit): End bit, always ‘1’.
