The Open-Channel SSD architecture is divided into several pieces. Here is a short description of each project and how it relates.

• Linux Kernel Support (https://github.com/OpenChannelSSD/linux)
  Implements support for Open-Channel SSDs in the kernel. It is the core of identifying, managing, and using the Open-Channel SSDs.

• liblightnvm Library (https://github.com/OpenChannelSSD/liblightnvm)
  A library that abstracts the underlying "raw" Open-Channel SSD device and provides abstractions such as append only, bad block management, etc.

• General documentation (https://github.com/OpenChannelSSD/documentation)
  The documentation that is exposed through readthedocs.org

• liblightnvm documentation (http://lightnvm.io/liblightnvm)
  The liblightnvm documentation

• LightNVM Conditioning Tool (https://github.com/OpenChannelSSD/lnvm)
  Provides the lnvm-tool cli management tool for verifying and conditioning Open-Channel SSDs.

• LightNVM Test Tools (https://github.com/OpenChannelSSD/lightnvm-hw)
  Various tools to test kernel and target implementations.

• QEMU with NVMe Open-Channel Support (https://github.com/OpenChannelSSD/qemu-nvme)
  Implements support for exposing a virtual open-channel SSD. Very useful for development.
