[SPDK] Blob store

Hi,
Is there any example code for blob store to use nvme device directly without the block dev layer? 
If not, is there even a document on the order in which APIs need to be invoked to set this up correctly? 
The way I have it setup, spdk_bs_init () followed by spdk_bs_md_create_blob () both succeed, but spdk_bs_md_open_blob () spins forever. 
It keeps issuing reads to lba=3.
Thanks

I haven't written an example for how to do this yet. Are you able to test the
blob store using the bdev layer like in the rest of the examples for now? I
think that will be a lot more straightforward, but if there are concerns about
the bdev layer I'd love to understand what those are.

I got past the issue. The issue was blob store block size (4K) was mismatched with the nvme device  (512b). Once I converted correctly,  everything worked.
