5.4 Command Protocol
The host should confirm that the BSY bit of the Shadow Block Status register of
the device is 0 prior to issue a command. If BSY bit is 1, the host should wait for
issuing a command until BSY bit is cleared to 0.
Commands can be executed only when the DRDY bit of the Status register is 1.
However, the following commands can be executed even if DRDY bit is 0.
