i'm working on a SPI NAND Flash applet for #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer. i would like to add the ability to read (and write) data dumps... however, unlike with SPI NOR flashes where the data is located in an flat address space, SPI NAND devices are structured as pages (each consisting of data + spare + ECC)

how should i format these dumps? is there a standard format? is "use msgpack with a simple custom schema" good enough, considering msgspec promises fast (de)serialization for Python and other languages?

msgspec

A fast serialization and validation library, with builtin support for JSON, MessagePack, YAML, and TOML.
