The misaligned read/write request can occure at <a href="appnote.html#fs1">direct transfer</a>. If the bus architecture, especially DMA controller, does not allow misaligned memory access, it should be solved in this function. There are some workarounds described below to avoid this issue.</p> <ul> <li>Convert word transfer to byte transfer in this function. - Recommended.</li> <li>For <tt>f_read()</tt>, avoid long read request that includes a whole of sector. - Direct transfer will never occure.</li> <li>For <tt>f_read(fp, buff, btr, &br)</tt>, make sure that <tt>(((UINT)buff & 3) == (f_tell(fp) & 3))</tt> is true. - Word aligned direct transfer is guaranteed.</li> </ul> <p>Generally, a multiple sector transfer request must not be split into single sector transactions to the storage device, or you will not get good read throughput.</p> </div> <p class="foot"><a href="../00index_e.html">Return</a></p> </body> </html>
