The command register contains the command index (six bits sent to a card) and the
command type. These determine whether the command requires a response, and whether
the response is 48 or 136 bits long (see Section 31.9.4 on page 1062). The command path
implements the status flags shown in Table 154:
The CRC generator calculates the CRC checksum for all bits before the CRC code. This
includes the start bit, transmitter bit, command index, and command argument (or card
status). The CRC checksum is calculated for the first 120 bits of CID or CSD for the long
response format. Note that the start bit, transmitter bit and the six reserved bits are not used
in the CRC calculation.
The CRC checksum is a 7-bit value:
CRC[6:0] = Remainder [(M(x) * x
7
) / G(x)]
G(x) = x
7
+ x
3
+ 1
M(x) = (start bit) * x
39
+ ... + (last bit before CRC) * x
0
, or
M(x) = (start bit) * x
119
+ ... + (last bit before CRC) * x
0
