Project Overview
To build a low cost and simple platform capable of testing NAND flash memory and measuring the failure behavior under different usage patterns.
Project Objectives
Build a simple, flexible, bench top platform for SLC NAND endurance cycle-life testing
Create separate modular functions that can:
- Erase
- Check for erase failure flag (via Read Status Command)
- Verify an erase status failure by reading the failing block and checking for all 0’s
- Program Page
- Verify programming was successful (via Read Status Command)
- Read Page (discard what is read- for read disturb cycling)
- Read Verify - compare/verify a block against originally programmed pattern
The user should be able to input (via script, GUI, etc) the set of commands necessary to configure the test environment to perform any sequence of the above functions
User to specify the range of blocks of the device which are to be tested
User to specify the number of cycles that each function is to be repeated
User to select auto-generated random seed data, or be allowed to input a single pattern for device testing
Collect stats on failures and cycle counts
