6.1.3.2. Virtual Wire Channel

The Virtual Wire (VW) channel allows you to communicate the state of the GPIO tunneled through eSPI bus as in-band messages. The command phase consists of a command opcode, Virtual Wire count, Virtual Wire index, Virtual Wire data, and CRC.
Figure 21. Virtual Wire Packet
The Virtual Wire count indicates the number of Virtual Wire groups communicated by the packet. It is followed by one or more Virtual Wire groups. Each Virtual Wire group consists of two bytes, namely the Virtual Wire index and the Virtual Wire data. The eSPI agent core supports System Event and Server Platform Specific Virtual Wire index.
