STN Bootloader
CRC is calculated on the data field prior to byte
stuffing. It is transmitted after the data field, and before
the <ETX> control character.
After a response is received, it must first be
unstuffed. Then the CRC is calculated over the entire
data packet (including the CRC bytes). If the reception
is successful, the CRC calculation result will equal
zero.
4.5 Commands
The data field of each packet transmitted to the
bootloader should contain one command and
(optionally) its associated data. Commands must be
transmitted to the bootloader in the following format:
<command><datalength>[<data>]
Table 3 details the command format. Commands
supported by the bootloader are detailed in section
5.0
“
Bootloader Commands”.

<data length> 2

Bytes comprising a command do not have to be
sent back-to-back. However, there cannot be more
than 200 milliseconds between any two bytes. If this
timeout occurs, the bootloader will abort receiving the
command, and will revert to looking for the start of the
next command packet.
4.6 Responses
The data field of each packet received from the
bootloader contains one response and its associated
data. The responses are transmitted by the bootloader
in the following format:
<ACK/NACK><command><datalength>[<data>]
Table 4 details the response format.

<ACK/NACK> 2 bits

10 = NACK

4.6.1 ACK Responses
Upon successful execution of each command, the
bootloader responds with an ACK response in the
following format:
<0x40|command><datalength>[<data>]
See section 5.0 “Bootloader Commands” for details
on responses to each bootloader command.
4.6.2 NACK Responses
When the bootloader encounters an error while
processing a command, it will respond with a NACK
response. NACK responses have a fixed length of
three bytes (one data byte) and are in the following
format:
<0x80|command><0x01><errorcode>
Table 5 lists possible error codes.

4.6.2.1 Communication Errors
NACK responses indicating communication errors
have their command field set to 0x00, because the
integrity of the packet has been compromised or could
not be verified, and the byte received in place of the
command field may not correspond to the command
actually sent by the host. These errors may occur for
any bootloader command. The following two errors
indicate communication problems:
