+================================================
+``sd_bench`` SD card or mount point bench test
+================================================
+
+Performs bench mark testing on SD card or other mount points using the file system layer.
+
+A single test run.
+
+- Sequentially writes blocks of bytes to a test file on the device until the test duration elapses.
+- Optionally, the number of bytes written are read back and verified.
+
+The following runtime options are available::
+
+  sdbench: [-b] [-r] [-d] [-k] [-s] [-u] [-v]
+    -b   Block size per write (1-65536), default 512
+    -r   Number of runs (1-10000), default 5
+    -d   Max duration of a test (ms) (1-60000), default 2000
+    -k   Keep test file when finished, default false
+    -s   Call fsync after each block, false calls fsync
+         only at the end of each run, default false
+    -v   Verify data and block number, default true
+
+An example of a completed test::
+
+  nsh> sdbench
+  Using block size = 512 bytes, sync = false

+    Run  5:    375.6 KB/s, max write time: 37.785 ms (13.2 KB/s), fsync: 250.928 ms
+    Avg   :    362.8 KB/s, 3.999 MB written.
+
+  Testing Sequential Read Speed...
+    Run  1:    636.5 KB/s, max read/verify time: 54.1180 ms (9.2 KB/s)
+    Run  2:    648.9 KB/s, max read/verify time: 54.0520 ms (9.3 KB/s)
+    Run  3:    663.2 KB/s, max read/verify time: 43.5360 ms (11.5 KB/s)
+    Run  4:    721.8 KB/s, max read/verify time: 11.7640 ms (42.5 KB/s)
+    Avg   :    652.6 KB/s, 3.999 MB and verified
+
+
+The following Kconfig options can be used to configure the application at compile time.
+
+- ``CONFIG_TESTING_SD_BENCH`` - Enable the SD benchmark testing utility.
+- ``CONFIG_TESTING_SD_BENCH_PROGNAME`` - The name of the program registered with nsh.
+- ``CONFIG_TESTING_SD_BENCH_PRIORITY`` - The priority of the task.
+- ``CONFIG_TESTING_SD_BENCH_STACKSIZE`` - The stacksize of the task.
+- ``CONFIG_TESTING_SD_BENCH_DEVICE`` - The mountpoint to run sdbench on.
