.Dd March 8, 2012 .Dt NANDSIM 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm nandsim .Nd NAND Flash simulator driver .Sh SYNOPSIS .Cd "device nand" .Cd "device nandsim" .Cd "options ALQ" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm is part of the .Fx NAND framework .Xr nand 4 and can be characterized with the following highlights: l -bullet t plugs into the .Xr nand 4 framework APIs as if it were a hardware controller (hanging on the nexus bus) with real NAND chips connected to it t physically part of the kernel code (either statically linked into the kernel image or built as a module) t controlled with a user space program .Xr nandsim 8 .El

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

p Some .Nm features rely on the ability to log contents to a file, which is achieved through the .Xr alq 9 facility. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr nand 4 , .Xr nandsim.conf 5 , .Xr nandsim 8 .Sh STANDARDS Open NAND Flash Interface Working Group
