structure; the second error, the second error log structure; etc. The sixth error shall create an error log data
structure that replaces the first error log data structure; the seventh error replaces the second error log structure,
etc. The error log pointer indicates the most recent error log structure. If fewer than five errors have occurred, the
unused error log structure entries shall be zero filled. The following table describes the content of a valid error log
data structure.

Error data structure

10.8.33.6.4 Command data structure

The fifth command data structure shall contain the command or reset for which the error is being reported. The
fourth command data structure should contain the command or reset that preceded the command or reset for
which the error is being reported, the third command data structure should contain the command or reset
preceding the one in the fourth command data structure, etc. If fewer than four commands and resets preceded
the command or reset for which the error is being reported, the unused command data structures shall be zero
filled, for example, if only three commands and resets preceded the command or reset for which the error is
being reported, the first command data structure shall be zero filled. In some devices, the hardware
implementation may preclude the device from reporting the commands that preceded the command for which the
error is being reported or that preceded a reset. In this case, the command data structures are zero filled.

If the command data structure represents a command or software reset, the content of the command data
structure shall be as shown in the following Table.
