A command is any message from the host to the SimpleLink network processor device which is not a data packet (send or receive). The host driver supports only one command at a time. Before sending the next command, the driver waits for a 'command complete' message received from the SimpleLink network processor. To avoid blocking the driver for long periods of time in terms of RT and embedded systems, in some commands the SimpleLink network processor sends the 'command complete' message immediately after the command is received and validated, and sends an asynchronous event when the command executes successfully.
