### Wrapping AVR commands

So to SEND an AVR command to the EDBG, it is wrapped as:

Table 29. Wrapping AVR_CMD

Field | Size | Description
--- | --- | ---
AVR_CMD | 1 byte | 0x80
FragmentInfo | 1 byte | Fragment number
Size | 2 bytes, MSB first | Number of bytes in the wrapped AVR packet
CommandPacket | N bytes | Enveloped AVR packet

Large packets must be chopped up according to the HID interface’s REPORT_SIZE. The fragment number envelope field is two 4-bit nibbles indicating a "packet m of n packets" relationship:

(packet_number << 4) | total_number_of_packets

Each SEND fragment responds with:

Table 30. Unwrapping AVR_CMD

Field | Size | Description
--- | --- | ---
AVR_CMD | 1 byte | 0x80
FragmentCode | 1 byte | 0x00: More fragments required (m < n) 0x01: Full packet received, will be processed (m == n)

This is not to be confused with the AVR_RSP, which is the response to the command itself, which is detailed next.
