Hello,

I work now on NAND Flash and I have to do measurements on it. I would like to know how you access to the memory ? On Linux you use the mtd API, isn't it ? For windows any idea ? Do you have direct access so that you can do your own GC and wear leveling qnd bypass the FTL? You do your test with a standard USB Key or something else ?

It is lots of questions... :-)

Thank you very much to take time to read them.

Regards

1. Yes, we use MTD
2. No idea about Windows
3. Base flash devices have no built-in FTL and we work with them directly.
4. I personally use flash simulators: mtdram and nandsim.
