10.8.42.6.2.3 Command data structure
The fifth command data structure will contain the command or reset for which the error is being reported. The
fourth command data structure should contain the command or reset that preceded the command or reset for
which the error is being reported, the third command data structure should contain the command or reset
preceding the one in the fourth command data structure, etc. If fewer than four commands and resets preceded
the command or reset for which the error is being reported, the unused command data structures will be zero
filled, for example, if only three commands and resets preceded the command or reset for which the error is
being reported, the first command data structure will be zero filled. In some devices, the hardware
implementation may preclude the device from reporting the commands that preceded the command for which
the error is being reported or that preceded a reset. In this case, the command data structures are zero filled.
If the command data structure represents a command or software reset, the content of the command data
structure will be as shown in the following Table.
