unvme-cli is a command line interface to control NVMe controller without
kernel NVMe driver on the user-space. It's based on libvfn so that it requires
libvfn libraries to be installed.
- Users can setup user-defined configurations (e.g., IO queues) without kernel driver intervention
- Users can introduce user-defined scenarios (e.g., doorbell update) to test NVMe controller
- Educational purpose to understand NVMe spec.
- Do all these with a simple portable program
unvme
unvmed is a daemon service process to handle requests by unvme-cli. To
communicate with NVMe device in the system, you should run unvmed first by
unvme start command. If you want to kill the running unvmed daemon process,
unvme stop is the one to run.
Please refer examples test cases under examples/.
