NAME

       nandsim — NAND Flash simulator driver

SYNOPSIS

       device nand
       device nandsim
       options ALQ

DESCRIPTION

       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.
