The
nandsim
is part of the
FreeBSD
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
nandsim
allows for imitating ONFI-compliant NAND Flash devices as if they were
attached to the system via a virtual controller.
Some
nandsim
features rely on the ability to log contents to a file, which is achieved
through the
alq(9)
facility.
