1.6   Transport layer  

1.6.1  SSP frame format  

This layer defines the processing of each of a COMMAND frame, TASK frame, 
DATA frame, XFER_RDY frame and RESPONSE frame. 

Table 1.32 contains the definitions of the SSP frame format.  An SSP frame 
consists of the header part, information unit part, and CRC.
