FAT File System (FAT FS) from Zeeis enables the embedded developer to easily and quickly integrate the MS-DOS/Windows compatible file system interoperability with all major operating systems into any devices. It has tested on several real time operating systems and also can used with no RTOS. This high performance source code has been optimized for minimum memory consumption in RAM and ROM, low cost and high speed.
FAT File System Overview
In 2008, Zeeis File System product shipped in over 25 million devices, which is the leading file system product for mobile, consumer electronics and storage applications.
Zeeis Embedded FAT File System is reliable, full-featured, high-performance FAT12/16/32 and VFAT (long file names) file system for MCUs, CPUs and DPSs. It is a source code product designed for embedded applications that require the access PC-compatible storage media and it supports fixed and removable media, such as Secure Digital (SD), SDHC Cards, MultiMediaCard (MMC), Compact Flash Cards, ATA/IDE Hard Drives, SATA Hard Drives, RAM Disk, USB Mass Storage, DiskOnChip, NAND Flash, NOR Flash and other devices.
Embedded FAT File System with full source code, it is consistent ANSI C code with extensive comments and has been tested using vast majority development tools included ARM STD, ARM ADS, ARM RVDS, GNU GCC, Keil and Visual C++. The file systems accessed via a unified standard API, POSIX-compatible interface for file operations.
