36 .Nd NAND Flash simulator driver
48 and can be characterized with the following highlights:
53 framework APIs as if it were a hardware controller (hanging on the nexus bus)
54 with real NAND chips connected to it
56 physically part of the kernel code (either statically linked into the kernel
57 image or built as a module)
59 controlled with a user space program
63 From the user perspective, the
65 allows for imitating ONFI-compliant NAND Flash devices as if they were
66 attached to the system via a virtual controller.
70 features rely on the ability to log contents to a file, which is achieved
