This tool seems be present in restore ramdisks for formatting NAND flash.

Usage

ioflashstoragetool: Low-level NAND flash utility

Options:                                                                      
  --verbose           Be talkative about what the tool is doing.              
  --noisy             Be extremely noisy while doing things.                  
  --quiet             Don't show progress output.                             
                                                                              
Multi-bank addressing:                                                        
  p<page>             Addresses all banks, starting at bank 0, page <page>.   
  b<block>            Addresses all banks, starting at bank 0, block <block>. 
    In these modes, page/block counts are per-bank and all operations start   
    at bank zero.  <page>/<block> may be decimal or hex preceeded by 0x.      
                                                                              
Single-bank addressing:                                                       
  <bank>p<page>       Addresses bank <bank>, starting at page <page>.         
  <bank>b<block>      Addresses bank <bank>, starting at block <block>.       
    In these modes, page/block counts are for the selected bank only.         
    <bank> is decimal, <page>/<block> may be decimal or hex preceeded by 0x.  
                                                                              
Commands:                                                                     
  format <partition table type>                                                        
    Writes partition table to pages 0 and 1 of block 0 of all devices.        
    The <partition table type> may be one of: s5l8720x s5l8920x               
      --force               Performs format even if an AND signature is       
                            detected.
