Posted on September 01, 2015 at 18:10You have to manage the NAND device and it's blocks. Normally people layer a file system on top, but this isn't required if you're willing to explicitly manage where you put data.
Yes, you're likely to need to erase large blocks, to overwrite/insert data into a large block you have to read the original data to a holding buffer, erase, and write back the old/new data. Alternatively you can advance to a new, empty, large block and write the old/new data in there, and then invalidate the old data.
