.Sh COMMAND DESCRIPTION
Controllers and chips are arranged into a simple hierarchy.
There can be up to 4 controllers configured, each with 4 chip select (CS) lines.
A given chip is connected to one of the chip selects.
.Pp
Controllers are specified as
.Aq ctrl_no ;
chip selects are specified as
.Aq cs_no .
.Bl -tag -width periphlist
.It Ic status
Gets controller(s) status. If
.Fl a
or
.Fl -all
flag is specified - command will print status of every controller
currently available.
Optional flag
.Fl v
causes printing complete information about the controller, and all
chips attached to it.
.It Ic conf
Reads simulator configuration from a specified file (this includes
the simulation "layout" i.e. controllers-chips assignments).
Configuration changes for an already started simulation require a
full stop-start cycle in order to take effect i.e.:
.Bl -column
.It nandsim stop ...
.It nandsim destroy ...
.Pp
.It << edit config file >>
.Pp
.It nandsim conf ...
.It nandsim start ...
.El
.It Ic mod
Alters simulator parameters on-the-fly.
If controller number and CS pair is not specified, the general
simulator parameters (not specific to a controller or a chip) will be modified.
Changing chip's parameters requires specifying both controller number and CS
to which the given chip is connected.
Parameters which can be altered:
.Pp
General simulator related:
.Bl -tag -width flag
.It Fl l Aq log_level
change logging level to
.Aq log_level
.El
.Pp
Chip related:
.Bl -tag -width flag
.It Fl p Aq prog_time
change prog time for specified chip to
.Aq prog_time
.It Fl e Aq erase_time
change erase time for specified chip to
.Aq erase_time
.It Fl r Aq read_time
change read time for specified chip to
.Aq read_time
.It Fl E Aq error_ratio
change error ratio for specified chip to
.Aq error_ratio .
Error ratio is a number of errors per million read/write bytes.
.El
.Pp
Additionally, flag
.Fl h
will list parameters which can be altered.
.El
.Bl -tag -width periphlist
.It Ic bb
Marks/unmarks a specified block as bad.
To mark/unmark the bad condition an a block, the following parameters
have to be supplied: controller number, CS number, and at least one
block number.
It is possible to specify multiple blocks, by separating blocks numbers
with a comma.
The following options can be used for the 'bb' command:
.Bl -tag -width flag
.It Fl U
unmark the bad previously marked block as bad.
.It Fl L
list all blocks marked as bad on a given chip.
.El
.It Ic log
Prints activity log of the specified controller to stdout; if
controller number is not specifed, logs for all available
controllers are printed.
.It Ic stats
Print statistics of the selected controller, chip and page.
Statistics includes read count, write count, raw read count, raw
write count, ECC stats (succeeded corrections, failed correction).
.It Ic dump
Dumps a snaphot of a single chip (including data and bad blocks
information, wearout level) into the file.
.It Ic restore
Restores chip state from a dump-file snapshot (produced previously
with the 'dump' command).
.It Ic start
Starts a controller i.e. the simulation.
.It Ic stop
Stops an already started controller; if the controller number is not
supplied, attempts to stop all currently working controllers.
.It Ic destroy
Removes existing active chip/controller and its configuration from
memory and releases the resources.
Specifying flag
.Fl a
or
.Fl -all
causes removal of every chip and controller.
Controller must be stopped in order to be destroyed.
.It Ic error
Directly overwrites a certain number of bytes in the specified page
at a given offset with a supplied pattern (which mimics the
corruption of flash contents).
.It Ic help
Prints synopsis,
.Fl v
gives more verbose output.
.It Ic freeze
Stops simulation of given controller (simulates power-loss).
All commands issues to any chip on this controller are ignored.
