Hello Fabien, Thank you for your +1 :)
> Is it possible to emulate somthing without the actual hardware, at least > for testing purposes? Yes, you can emulate PMEM using DRAM on Linux, via "memmap=nnG!ssG" kernel parameter. Please see [1] and [2] for emulation details. If your emulation does not work well, please check if the kernel configuration options (like CONFIG_ FOOBAR) for PMEM and DAX (in [1] and [3]) are set up properly.
