Petit Fat File System Module
- cbluth 6y agothis link doesnt work
- theamk 6y agoWorks for me? > Petit FatFs is a sub-set of FatFs module for tiny 8-bit microcontrollers. It is written in compliance with ANSI C and completely separated from the disk I/O layer. It can be incorporated into the tiny microcontrollers with limited memory even if the RAM size is less than sector size.
- vosper 6y agoWorks fine for me - maybe it has intermittent errors?

Also full featured FAT file system module is available here. http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/00index_e.html http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/00index_e.html >Features Very small RAM consumption (44 bytes work area + certain stack). Very small code size (2K-4K bytes). FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32. Single volume and Single file. Streaming file read. File write function with some restrictions.

- howerj 6y agoI have noticed there are quite a few FAT-32 implementations out there, but none that do what I want. Ideally what I want is something that would do the following; allow the creation of a new FAT-32 image file of a specified length given a target directory. The program (or programs/scripts) must be command line driven and run under both Windows and Linux (so they can be integrated into our build system). The use case is the following; the creation of a single binary image containing some firmware and a (per-unit) custom FAT-32 partition, both of which would effectively concatenated together. Does anyone have any ideas? Otherwise I might have to make something myself.

- howerj 6y agoThat looks like it might work, thank you. My search did not find this.
- jaclaz 6y ago+1 The mtools/mformat are not AFAIK released pre-built for Windows, in case of need here is a build: http://reboot.pro/topic/14354-buidlingmodifying-floppy-images-with-mtools-as-replacement-for-winimageimdisk/ http://reboot.pro/topic/14354-buidlingmodifying-floppy-image... Syntax/option for mformat are a bit complex, again in case of need here is a small batch that hopefuly makes commands clearer: http://reboot.pro/topic/21664-makeiso/page-4#entry205455 http://reboot.pro/topic/21664-makeiso/page-4#entry205455
- any1 6y agoThere's also genimage [1] which uses mtools for FAT, but it can also do ext2 and more. [1] https://github.com/pengutronix/genimage https://github.com/pengutronix/genimage
- koolba 6y agoI can’t speak for Windows, but on any *nix OS you can do this with a loop back device. You’d have to determining in advance and likely round up a bit. But it’s a literally a couple line shell script.
- morio 6y agoWhy does the author not just put it on github/gitlab/... instead of only offering a .zip? It's 2020 last time I checked.
- panic 6y agoIf it's that onerous to download the zip, maybe we should build a tool to browse .zip/.tgz source links instead of pressuring everyone to centralize all source code on the planet into just two web sites.
- tom_ 6y agoWait, what's the other one that isn't GitHub? Sounds like we need to start working on the people still putting their stuff there!
- SahAssar 6y agoNot everyone wants to work that way, and having a public git as a requirement is ridiculous. The software is FOSS, why are you complaining?
- morio 6y agoNever said it should be a requirement. But downloading a .zip file from a site which does not have a valid SSL certificate nor supports SSL in the first place does not instill confidence. Software security is a thing.
- SahAssar 6y agoAgreed about the SSL/TLS, but the comment sounded more like not having a public git was the complaint.
- nom 6y agoAh ELM. I always try to urge everyone interested in low-level embedded systems engineering to browse elm-chan.org, it's such a treasure trove. He describes himself as "Mediocre embedded system engineer" but he is way too humble, the skill he shows is so incredible that I often find myself speechless whenever I look at his projects. Go there, look around and recommend it to everyone. You will not regret it.
- rkagerer 6y agoAgreed. Anyone know how to get in touch with him? I used his audio player code, found some bugs, and want to give him the fixes. Tried the email listed on his Profile page, but never heard back. ChaN, if you're out there: https://i.imgur.com/E8Z29VE.png https://i.imgur.com/E8Z29VE.png The original code fails to load WAV's containing metadata – even though an intent to tolerate them appears written into some of the handlers (DISP, LIST FCC, etc). I can provide files from Audacity which reproduce the issue. Moved remaining details here to avoid boring the HN audience: https://pastebin.com/raw/XdneQ8xh https://pastebin.com/raw/XdneQ8xh
- Shared404 6y agoYou may have luck with his BBS, it's linked at the bottom of the home page.
- andyjpb 6y agoI've been using this recently and, because it doesn't ever modify the file system structures, you don't have to worry about unmounting the volume cleanly. It can write to files, but it can't create or resize them. For that (and more), you want FatFs, the full featured version: http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/00index_e.html http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/00index_e.html elm-chan has also written an AVR bootloader that can update the flash from, for example, an SDCard. It uses this Petit FAT File System Module and requires a 4K bootloader section (so mostly of use on the ATMega1284).
- beardyw 6y agoI have used the Petit version a lot and I love it. But it is not always very efficient because it does no caching. I've done a fix so that when I have 512 bytes to spare it will save the last sector read. It speeds things up a lot without the fixed overheads of the full Fatfs. I probably should offer it up if it's possible.
- arcadian33 6y agoPetitFatFS was handy in a recent build. I was creating a box that could be placed on marine equipment to collect vibrations data, but to capture the modes of interest it had to read accelerometer data and write it to a microSD card at >=660[Hz]. I don't have a programming background and thus had trouble creating code which fit onto the tiny memory of the microcontroller being used. PetitFatFS worked beautifully, and saved a ton of headache on my end. It added the step of creating the storage files on the microSD card prior to inserting it, but that was acceptable for this project.
- sgtnoodle 6y agoI recently did a search for embedded fat implementations, and this one stood out well above the rest.
- halayli 6y agoBeen checking elm-chan since 1999/2000 when I implemented his mp3 player using atmel. I admire his consistency.
