# Zero-Code Firmware Series EQ HID Control Protocol and Command Set

## 1. Protocol Foundation Specifications

### 1.1 Underlying Communication Protocol
Based on USB HID (Human Interface Device) protocol.

| Parameter | Value |
| :--- | :--- |
| Report ID | 0x01 |
| Packet Size | 64 bytes |
| Transfer Direction | Bidirectional (Host <-> Device) |

### 1.2 Message Format and Data Transmission

**Common Message Format**
All commands and responses follow the Report structure below:

| Field | Bytes | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Report ID | 1 | Fixed as `0x01` |
| Sync Header | 1 | Fixed as `0x77` (command start identifier) |
| Command Code | 1 | Indicates specific operation (e.g., `0x8A`) |
| Data Area | 61 | Specific data content (unused bytes typically filled with 0) |

**Data Transmission Notes**

*   **Byte Order**: All multi-byte data is transmitted in **Little Endian** mode.
*   **Floating Point**: Follows IEEE 754 float format.
