<h1>FatFs - Generic FAT Filesystem Module</h1>
<hr>
<div class="abst">
<img src="res/layers.png" class="rset" width="245" height="255" alt="layer">
<p>FatFs is a generic FAT/exFAT filesystem module for small embedded systems. The FatFs module is written in compliance with ANSI C (C89) and completely separated from the disk I/O layer. Therefore it is independent of the platform. It can be incorporated into small microcontrollers with limited resource, such as 8051, PIC, AVR, ARM, Z80, RX and etc. Also Petit FatFs module for tiny microcontrollers is available <a href="http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/00index_p.html">here</a>.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>DOS/Windows compatible FAT/exFAT filesystem.</li>
<li>Platform independent. Easy to port.</li>
<li>Very small footprint for program code and work area.</li>
<li>Various <a href="doc/config.html">configuration options</a> to support for:
<ul>
<li>Multiple volumes (physical drives and partitions).</li>
<li>Multiple ANSI/OEM code pages including DBCS.</li>
<li>Long file name in ANSI/OEM or Unicode.</li>
<li>exFAT filesystem.</li>
<li>RTOS envilonment.</li>
<li>Fixed or variable sector size.</li>
<li>Read-only, optional API, I/O buffer and etc...</li>
</ul>

<h3>Media Access Interface</h3>
<img src="res/layers2.png" class="rset" width="245" height="220" alt="layer">
<p>Since the FatFs module is the <em>filesystem layer</em> independent of platforms and storage media, it is completely separated from the physical devices, such as memory card, harddisk and any type of storage device. The low level device control module is <em>not a part of FatFs module</em> and it needs to be provided by implementer. FatFs accesses the storage devices via a simple media access interface shown below. Also sample implementations for some platforms are available in the downloads. A function checker for low level disk I/O module is available <a href="res/app4.c">here</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="doc/dstat.html">disk_status</a> - Get device status</li>
<li><a href="doc/dinit.html">disk_initialize</a> - Initialize device</li>
<li><a href="doc/dread.html">disk_read</a> - Read sector(s)</li>
<li><a href="doc/dwrite.html">disk_write</a> - Write sector(s)</li>
<li><a href="doc/dioctl.html">disk_ioctl</a> - Control device dependent functions</li>
<li><a href="doc/fattime.html">get_fattime</a> - Get current time</li>
