The CRC is calculated from the command/response, length, and data fields. The polynomial
used is the FCS16 (or CRC-16-CCIT) in reverse mode (0x8408) and the starting value is
0x0000.
Example command
Below is an example command from the master with additional data.

Avoiding drive contention when changing direction
The aWire debug protocol uses one dataline in both directions. To avoid both the master and the
slave to drive this line when changing direction the AW has a built in guard time before it starts to
drive the line. At reset this guard time is set to maximum (128 bit cycles), but can be lowered by
the master upon command.
The AW will release the line immediately after the stop character has been transmitted.
31.4.6.2 During the direction change there can be a period when the line is not driven. The RESET_N pin
Normal reset functionality on the RESET_N pin is disabled when using aWire. However, the
user can reset the system through the RESET aWire command. During aWire operation the
