The Bitsy does it all for NOR flash but sadly NAND flash is more
problematic. NAND flash is cheap and easy for the hardware guys (and
consumers) but it's a real hassle for programmers. If you're feeling
lucky, then its a simple extension from random access to page
read/write. If you care about reliability, then it's back to ECC
generation/checking and bad block mapping and wear leveling and
mirroring ....
