SYNOPSIS

device nand device nandsim options ALQ

DESCRIPTION

The is part of the Fx NAND framework nand(4) and can be characterized with the following highlights:

• plugs into the nand(4) framework APIs as if it were a hardware controller (hanging on the nexus bus) with real NAND chips connected to it
• physically part of the kernel code (either statically linked into the kernel image or built as a module)
• controlled with a user space program nandsim(8)

From the user perspective, the allows for imitating ONFI-compliant NAND Flash devices as if they were attached to the system via a virtual controller.

Some features rely on the ability to log contents to a file, which is achieved through the alq(9) facility.

STANDARDS

Open NAND Flash Interface Working Group (Vt ONFI )

HISTORY

The support first appeared in Fx 10.0 .
