This is a stable version, with changes:

* allow using static memory allocation, 'malloc' is no longer needed.
* using cmake for building simulator.
* bug fixes & minor changes.

1. Add a new ECC-don't-care 'Simram' Flash Class, which is used for simulate NAND flash on RAM or supporting NOR Flash (boosting speed and better space efficiency).

2. License changed from GNU GPLv2 to GNU LGPLv2.

* enhanced large-page NAND flash support.
* an example of direct flash interface added.

--block-pages 32 \
--total-block 128 \
--mount /sys/,0,63 \
--mount /,64,-1 \
--exec script.ufs... read more
