Currently we only have SEND_SPI8 which send a single (8-bit) word. Sending array of words need sending repeated SPI_HEADER and SEND_SPI8 before each word.
Like [SPI_HEADER][SEND_SPI8][word_out_0][word_in_0][ACK][SPI_HEADER][SEND_SPI8][word_out_1][word_in_1][ACK]...
By SEND_SPI8_BULK we can avoid sending repeated SPI_HEADER and SEND_SPI8.
Like [SPI_HEADER][SEND_SPI8_BULK][count][word_out_0][word_in_0][word_out_1][word_in_1]...
[ ] SEND_SPI16_BULK (#141)
Same as SEND_SPI8_BULK with (16-bit) word.
[x] WRITE_SPI8_BULK (#137)
For writing only, we can also avoid [word_in_\d+].
Like [SPI_HEADER][WRITE_SPI8_BULK][count][word_0][word_1]....
[ ] WRITE_SPI16_BULK (#141)
Same as WRITE_SPI8_BULK with (16-bit) word.
[x] READ_SPI8_BULK (#137)
For reading only, we can avoid [word_out_\d+].
Like [SPI_HEADER][READ_SPI8_BULK][count][word_0][word_1]....
[ ] READ_SPI16_BULK (#141)
Same as READ_SPI8_BULK with (16-bit) word.
[X] I2C_SEND_BULK (Addressed in #121)
Currently we only have I2C_SEND_BURST which send a single byte. Sending array of bytes need sending repeated I2C_HEADER and I2C_SEND_BURST before each byte.
Like [I2C_HEADER][I2C_SEND_BURST][data_0][I2C_HEADER][I2C_SEND_BURST][data_1]...
By I2C_SEND_BULK we can avoid sending repeated I2C_HEADER and I2C_SEND_BURST.
Like [I2C_HEADER][I2C_SEND_BULK][count][data_0][data_1]...
[X] I2C_READ (Addressed in #121)
Currently we use I2C_READ_MORE and I2C_READ_END which reads byte by byte.
By using I2C_READ we can avoid sending repeated I2C_HEADER, I2C_READ_MORE and I2C_READ_END.
Like [I2C_HEADER][I2C_READ][count][data_0][data_1]...
