<p>FatFs module is an experimental project to implement FAT file system to small embdded systems. The FatFs module is written in compliance with ANSI C, therefore it is independent of hardware architecture. It can be incorporated into most small microcontrollers, such as 8051, PIC, AVR, H8, Z80 and etc..., without any change. I created two modules in different configurations in consideration of various use. To use the FatFs module, low level disk I/O functions for each media must be provided by user.</p>

<h4>Features of FatFs Module</h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Separated buffer for FAT and each file. Suitable for fast multiple file accsess.</li>
|
|
<li>Optimized for 8/16 bit microcontrollers.</li>
|
|
<li>Low memory consumption</li>
|
|
<li>Supports FAT12, FAT16(+FAT64) and FAT32 <small>(FAT64: FAT16 in 64KB/cluster)</small></li>
|
|
<li>Supports 8.3 format file name and NT lower capital flags</li>
|
|
<li>Supports two partitioning formats: FDISK (only 1st primariy partition) and SFD (only 512B/sector)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h4>Features of Tiny-FatFs Module</h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Only a common buffer for FAT and each file to reduce memory consumption.</li>
|
|
<li>Optimized for 8/16 bit microcontrollers.</li>
|
|
<li>Low memory consumption , suitable for small memory system (1KB)</li>
|
|
<li>Supports FAT12 and FAT16(+FAT64)</li>
|
|
<li>Supports 8.3 format file name and NT lower capital flags</li>
|
|
<li>Supports two partitioning formats: FDISK (only 1st primariy partition) and SFD (only 512B/sector)</li>

<h3>Memory Usage</h3>
|
|
<p>There are some configuration options to eliminate unused functions to reduce module size. Following tables are memory consumption in unit of byte on avr-gcc.</p>

<h3>Application Interface</h3>
|
|
<p>FatFs/Tiny-FatFs module provides following functions.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|

<h3>Disk I/O Interface</h3>
|
|
<p>Since the FatFs/Tiny-FatFs module is completely separated from disk I/O layer, it requires following functions to lower layer to read/write physical disk and to get current time.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="en/dinit.html">disk_initialize</a> - Initialize disk drive</li>
|
|
<li><a href="en/dstat.html">disk_status</a> - Get disk status</li>
|
|
<li><a href="en/dread.html">disk_read</a> - Read sector(s)</li>
|
|
<li><a href="en/dwrite.html">disk_write</a> - Write sector(s)</li>
|
|
<li><a href="en/fattime.html">get_fattime</a> - Get current time</li>
|
|
</ul>
|

<h3>Resources</h3>
|
|
<p>The FatFs/Tiny-FatFs module is a free software and is opened for education, research and development. You can use, modify and/or republish it for personal, non-profit or profit use without any restriction under your responsibility.</p>
