12.4.8
Part ID Packet
The Part ID Packet is sent by the FLEX decoder whenever the FLEX decoder is disabled due to
the checksum feature. See 12.3.1, Checksum Packet for a description of the checksum feature.
Since the FLEX decoder is disabled after reset, this is the first packet that will be received by the
host after reset. The ID of the Part ID Packet is 255 (decimal).
