13 Command Protocol
The commands are grouped into different classes according to the protocols followed for command execution. The command classes with their associated protocols are defined below.
Please refer to Serial ATA Revision 2.6 (Section 11. device command layer protocol) about each protocol.
For all commands, the host must first check if BSY=1, and should proceed no further unless and until BSY=0. For all commands, the host must also wait for RDY=1 before proceeding.
A device must maintain either BSY=1 or DRQ=1 at all times until the command is completed. The INTRQ signal is used by the device to signal most, but not all, times when the BSY bit is changed from 1 to 0 during command execution.
A command shall only be interrupted with a COMRESET or software reset. The result of writing to the Command register while BSY=1 or DRQ=1 is unpredictable and may result in data corruption. A command should only be interrupted by a reset at times when the host thinks there may be a problem, such as a device that is no longer responding.
Interrupts are cleared when the host reads the Status Register, issues a reset, or writes to the Command Register.
“Table 138 Timeout Values” on Page 171 shows the device timeout values.
