\subsection{Project aims}
|
|
The EFSL project aims to create a library for filesystems, to be used on
|
|
various embedded systems. Currently we support the Microsoft FAT filesystem
|
|
family. It is our intention to create pure ANSI C code that compiles on
|
|
anything that bears the name 'C compiler'. We don't make assumptions about
|
|
endianness or how the memory alignment is arranged on your architecture.
|
|

|
|
Adding code for your specific hardware is straightforward, just add code that
|
|
fetches or writes a 512 byte sector, and the library will do the rest.
|
|
Existing code can be used, writing your own code is only required when you
|
|
have hardware for which no target exists.
|
|
\subsection{Project status}
|
|
Efsl currently supports FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32. Read and write has been tested
|
|
and is stable. Efsl runs on PC (GNU/Linux, development environment),
|
|
TMS C6000 DSP's from Texas instruments, and ATMega's from Atmel.
|
|
You can use this code with as little as 1 kilobyte RAM, however if you have
|
|
more at your disposal, an infinite amount can be used as cache memory.
|
|
The more memory you commit, the better the performance will be.
|
|
\subsection{License}
|
|
This project is released under the Lesser General Public license, which
|
|
means that you may use the library and it's sourcecode for any purpose you want,
|
|
that you may link with it and use it commercially, but that ANY change to the
|
|
code must be released under the same license. We would appreciate if you would send
|
|
us a patch when you add support for new hardware, but this is not obligatory, since it
|
|
falls under linking as far as the LGPL is concerned.
