Detailed Description

Implements a NAND flash device driver. The driver has basic functions to read and write data to a nand flash device.

When writing to the nand flash, an ECC is generated and written in the page spare area. This ECC is checked when the page is read and the data read is corrected when possible. Read and write operations can be done using DMA (configurable) at initialization.

The module is easily adapted to other NAND flash devices.
