4.2.1 BSL Acknowledgment

The peripheral interface section of the BSL software parses the wrapper section of the BSL data packet. If there are errors with the data transmission, an error message is sent immediately. An ACK is sent after all data has been successfully received and does not mean that the command has been correctly executed (or even that the command was valid) but, rather, that the data packet was formatted correctly and passed on to the BSL core software for interpretation.

The BSL protocol dictates that every BSL data packet sent is responded to with a single byte acknowledgment in addition to any BSL data packets that are sent. Table lists the acknowledgment responses from the BSL. If an acknowledgment byte other than ACK is sent, the BSL does not send any BSL data packets. The host programmer must check the acknowledgment error and retry transmission.
