If a working disk module for the target system is already provided, you need to write only glue functions to attach it to the FatFs module. If not, you need to port another disk I/O module or write it from scratch. Most of defined functions are not that always required. For example, any write function is not required at read-only configuration. Following table shows which function is required depends on the configuration options.</p>

<h3>Long File Name</h3>
-<p>FatFs module supports long file name (LFN). The two different file names, short file name (SFN) and LFN, of a file is transparent on the API except for <tt>f_readdir</tt> function. The support for LFN is disabled by default. To enable the LFN, set <tt><a href="config.html#use_lfn">FF_USE_LFN</a></tt> to 1, 2 or 3, and add <tt>ffunicode.c</tt> to the project. The LFN requiers a certain working buffer in addition. The buffer size can be configured by <tt><a href="config.html#max_lfn">FF_MAX_LFN</a></tt> according to the available memory. The length of an LFN will be up to 255 characters, so that the <tt>FF_MAX_LFN</tt> should be set to 255 for all file names. If the size of working buffer is insufficient for the input file name, the file function fails with <tt>FR_INVALID_NAME</tt>. When use any re-entry to the API with LFN is enabled, <tt>FF_USE_LFN</tt> must be set to 2 or 3. In this case, the file function allocates the working buffer on the stack or heap. The working buffer occupies <tt>(FF_MAX_LFN + 1) * 2</tt> bytes and additional <tt>(FF_MAX_LFN + 44) / 15 * 32</tt> bytes when exFAT is enabled.</p>

Especially, in the CJK region, tens of thousands of characters are being used. Unfortunately, it requires a huge OEM-Unicode bidirectional conversion table and the module size will be drastically increased as shown in the table. As the result, the FatFs with LFN enebled with those code pages will not able to be ported on the most 8-bit MCU systems.</p>
-<p>If you can discard ANSI/OEM code API and backward compatibility with non-ASCII SFN, you will able to configure FatFs for Unicode API with any SBCS.</p>

-<h3>Unicode API</h3>
-<p>By default, FatFs uses ANSI/OEM code set on the API even at LFN configuration. FatFs can also switch the character encoding on the API to Unicode by configuration option <tt><a href="config.html#lfn_unicode">FF_LFN_UNICODE</a></tt>. This means that FatFs supports the full featured LFN specification. The data type <tt>TCHAR</tt> specifies path name strings on the API is an alias of either <tt>char</tt>(ANSI/OEM or UTF-8), <tt>WCHAR</tt>(UTF-16) or <tt>DWORD</tt>(UTF-32) depends on that option. For more information, refer to the description in the <a href="filename.html#uni">file name</a>.</p>
-<p>Note that code page setting, <tt><a href="config.html#code_page">FF_CODE_PAGE</a></tt>, has actually no meaning for the path names at the Unicode API. However it still affects code conversion of string I/O functions at <tt><a href="config.html#strf_encode">FF_STRF_ENCODE</a> != 0</tt> and backward compatibility with legacy systems, so that code page needs to be configured properly when it is considered a problem.</p>

-<h3>exFAT Filesystem</h3>
-<p>The exFAT (Microsoft's Extended File Allocation Table) filesystem is a succession of the FAT/FAT32 filesystem which has been widely used in embedded systems, consumer devices and portable storage media. It is adopted by SDA (SD Association) as a recommended filesystem for high capacity SD cards larger than 32 GB and they are being shipped with this format, so that the exFAT became one of the standard filesystems for removable media as well as FAT. The exFAT filesystem allows the file size beyond the 4 GB limit what FAT filesystem allows upto and some filesystem overhead, especially cluster allocation delay, are reduced as well. This feature improves the write throughput to the file.</p>
-<p>Note that the exFAT is a patent of Microsoft Corporation. The exFAT function of FatFs is an implementation based on <cite>US. Pat. App. Pub. No. 2009/0164440 A1</cite>. FatFs module can switch the support for exFAT on/off by configuration option, <tt><a href="config.html#fs_exfat">FF_FS_EXFAT</a></tt>. When enable the exFAT on the commercial products, a license by Microsoft will be needed depends on the final destination of the products.</p>

-<h3>Re-entrancy</h3>
-<p>The file operations to the <em>different volumes</em> each other is always re-entrant regardless of configurations except when LFN is enabled with static working buffer. It can work concurrently without any mutual exclusion.</p>
-<p>The file operations to the <em>same volume</em> is not re-entrant. It can also be configured for thread-safe by option <tt><a href="config.html#fs_reentrant">FF_FS_REENTRANT</a></tt>. In this case, also the OS dependent synchronization control functions, <tt>ff_cre_syncobj/ff_del_syncobj/ff_req_grant/ff_rel_grant</tt>, need to be added to the project. There are some examples in the <tt>ffsystem.c</tt>. When a file function is called while the volume is being accessed by another task, the file function to the volume will be suspended until that task leaves the file function. If the wait time exceeded a period defined by <tt>FF_TIMEOUT</tt>, the file function will abort with <tt>FR_TIMEOUT</tt>. The timeout function might not be supported on the some RTOSs.</p>
-<p>There is an exception on the re-entrancy for <tt>f_mount/f_mkfs</tt> function. These volume management functions are not re-entrant to the same volume. When use these functions, other tasks need to avoid to access the volume.</p>
-<p>Remarks: This section describes on the re-entrancy of the FatFs module itself. The <tt>FF_FS_REENTRANT</tt> option enables only exclusive use of each filesystem objects and FatFs never prevents to re-enter <tt>disk_*()</tt> functions. Thus the low level disk I/O layer must be always thread-safe when FatFs API is re-entered for different volumes.</p>

-<h3>Performance Effective File Access</h3>
-<p>For good read/write throughput on the small embedded systems with limited size of memory, application programmer should consider what process is done in the FatFs module. The file data on the volume is transferred in following sequence by <tt>f_read</tt> function.</p>

-<p>Figure 3. Fully sector aligned read<br>
-<img src="../res/f3.png" width="490" height="119" alt="">
-</p>
-<p>The file I/O buffer is a sector buffer to read/write a part of data on the sector. The sector buffer is either file private sector buffer on each file object or shared sector buffer in the filesystem object. The buffer configuration option <tt><a href="config.html#fs_tiny">FF_FS_TINY</a></tt> determins which sector buffer is used for the file data transfer. When tiny buffer configuration (1) is selected, data memory consumption is reduced <tt>FF_MAX_SS</tt> bytes each file object. In this case, FatFs module uses only a sector buffer in the filesystem object for file data transfer and FAT/directory access. The disadvantage of the tiny buffer configuration is: the FAT data cached in the sector buffer will be lost by file data transfer and it must be reloaded at every cluster boundary. However it will be suitable for most application from view point of the decent performance and low memory comsumption.</p>
-<p>Figure 1 shows that a partial sector, sector unaligned part of the file, is transferred via the file I/O buffer. At long data transfer shown in Figure 2, middle of transfer data that covers one or more sector is transferred to the application buffer directly. Figure 3 shows that the case of entier transfer data is aligned to the sector boundary. In this case, file I/O buffer is not used. On the direct transfer, the maximum extent of sectors are read with <tt>disk_read</tt> function at a time but the multiple sector transfer is divided at cluster boundary even if it is contiguous.</p>
-<p>Therefore taking effort to sector aligned read/write accesss eliminates buffered data transfer and the read/write performance will be improved. Besides the effect, cached FAT data will not be flushed by file data transfer at the tiny configuration, so that it can achieve same performance as non-tiny configuration with small memory footprint.</p>

-<h3>Considerations on Flash Memory Media</h3>
-<p>To maximize the write performance of flash memory media, such as SDC, CFC and U Disk, it must be controlled in consideration of its characteristitcs.</p>
-<h4>Using Mutiple-Sector Write</h4>
-<div class="rset">
-Figure 6. Comparison between Multiple/Single Sector Write<br>
-<img src="../res/f6.png" width="630" height="148" alt="fig.6">
-</div>
-<p>The write throughput of the flash memory media becomes the worst at single sector write transaction. The write throughput increases as the number of sectors per a write transaction as shown in Figure 6. This effect more appers at faster interface speed and the performance ratio often becomes grater than ten. <a href="../res/rwtest2.png">This result</a> is clearly explaining how fast is multiple block write (W:16K, 32 sectors) than single block write (W:100, 1 sector), and also larger card tends to be slow at single block write. Number of write transactions also affects life time of the flash memory media. When compared at same amount of write data, the single sector write in Figure 6 above wears flash memory media 16 times more than multiple sector write in Figure 6 below. Single sector write is pretty pain for the flash memory media.</p>
-<p>Therefore the application program should write the data in large block as possible. The ideal write chunk size and alighment is size of sector, and size of cluster is the best. Of course all layers between the application and the storage device must have consideration on multiple sector write, however most of open-source memory card drivers lack it. Do not split a multiple sector write request into single sector write transactions or the write throughput gets poor. Note that FatFs module and its sample disk drivers supprt multiple sector read/write operation. </p>
-<h4>Forcing Memory Erase</h4>
-<p>When remove a file with <tt>f_unlink</tt> function, the data clusters occupied by the file are marked 'free' on the FAT. But the data sectors containing the file data are not that applied any process, so that the file data left occupies a part of the flash memory array as 'live block'. If the file data can be erased on removing the file, those data blocks will be turned into the free block pool. This may skip internal block erase operation to the data block on next write operation. As the result the write performance might be improved. FatFs can manage this function by setting <tt><a href="config.html#use_trim">FF_USE_TRIM</a></tt> to 1. Note that this is an expectation of internal process of the storage device and not that always effective. Most applications will not need this function. Also <tt>f_unlink</tt> function can take a time when remove a large file.</p>

+<p>FatFs module supports the long file name (LFN) extension of the FAT filesystem. The two different file names, short file name (SFN) and LFN, of a file is transparent on the API. The support for LFN feature is disabled by default. To enable the LFN, set <tt><a href="config.html#use_lfn">FF_USE_LFN</a></tt> to 1, 2 or 3, and add <tt>ffunicode.c</tt> to the project. The LFN feature requiers a certain working buffer. The buffer size can be configured by <tt><a href="config.html#max_lfn">FF_MAX_LFN</a></tt> according to the available memory. The length of LFN can be up to 255 characters, so that the <tt>FF_MAX_LFN</tt> should be set to 255 for any existing file names. If the size of working buffer is insufficient for the input file name, the file function fails with <tt>FR_INVALID_NAME</tt>. When use any re-entry to the API with LFN feature in RTOS environment, <tt>FF_USE_LFN</tt> must be set to 2 or 3. In this case, the file function allocates the working buffer on the stack or heap. The LFN working buffer occupies <tt>(FF_MAX_LFN + 1) * 2</tt> bytes and additional <tt>(FF_MAX_LFN + 44) / 15 * 32</tt> bytes when exFAT is enabled.</p> +<h4>Impact upon Module Size</h4> +<table class="lst2 rset"> +<caption>With LFN at CM3 + gcc</caption> +<tr><th><tt>FF_CODE_PAGE</tt></th><th>Code size</th></tr> +<tr><td>437-869 (SBCS)</td><td>+3.3k</td></tr> +<tr><td>932 (Japanese)</td><td>+62k</td></tr> +<tr><td>936 (Simplified Chinese)</td><td>+177k</td></tr> +<tr><td>949 (Korean)</td><td>+140k</td></tr> +<tr><td>950 (Traditional Chinese)</td><td>+111k</td></tr> +<tr><td>0 (All code pages)</td><td>+486k</td></tr> +</table> +<p>When the LFN is enabled, the module size will be increased depends on the configured code page. Right table shows the increment of code size in some code pages. Especially, in the CJK region, tens of thousands of characters are being used. Unfortunately, it requires a huge OEM-Unicode bidirectional conversion table and the module size will be drastically increased as shown in the table.</p> +<p>As the result, the FatFs with LFN enabled with DBCS code pages will not able to be ported on the most 8-bit MCU systems. If the target system is in legacy-free, in only Unicode and any ANSI/OEM code is not used at all, the code page setting gets meaningless. You will able to reduce the code size by configureing FatFs for Unicode API with any SBCS code page.</p> +<p>There ware some restrictions on using LFN for open source project, because the LFN extension on the FAT filesystem was a patent of Microsoft Corporation. However the related patents all have expired and using the LFN feature is free for any projects.</p> +</div> + +<div class="para doc" id="unicode"> +<h3>Unicode API</h3> +<p>By default, FatFs uses ANSI/OEM code set on the API even in LFN configuration. FatFs can also switch the character encoding on the API to Unicode by configuration option <tt><a href="config.html#lfn_unicode">FF_LFN_UNICODE</a></tt>. This means that FatFs is compliant with the full featured LFN specification. The data type <tt>TCHAR</tt> specifies path name strings on the API is an alias of either <tt>char</tt>(ANSI/OEM or UTF-8), <tt>WCHAR</tt>(UTF-16) or <tt>DWORD</tt>(UTF-32) depends on that option. For more information, refer to the description in the <a href="filename.html#uni">file name</a>.</p> +<p>Note that setting of code page, <tt><a href="config.html#code_page">FF_CODE_PAGE</a></tt>, has actually no meaning when FatFs is configured for the Unicode API. It should be set 437 to reduce the module size. However it still affects code conversion of string I/O functions when <tt><a href="config.html#strf_encode">FF_STRF_ENCODE</a> == 0</tt>, and also backward compatibility with legacy systems. In this case, the code page may need to be configured properly if it is considered a problem.</p> +</div> + +<div class="para doc" id="exfat"> +<h3>exFAT Filesystem</h3> +<p>The exFAT (Microsoft's Extended File Allocation Table) filesystem is a succession of the FAT/FAT32 filesystem which has been widely used in embedded systems, consumer devices and portable storage media. It is adopted by SDA (SD Association) as the filesystem for SDXC card, 64 GB and larger, and they are being shipped with this format. Therefore the exFAT is one of the standard filesystems for removable media as well as FAT. The exFAT filesystem allows the file size beyond the 4 GB limit what FAT filesystem allows up to and some filesystem overhead, especially cluster allocation delay, are reduced as well. These features allow to record the large data without dividing into some files and improve the write throughput to the file.</p> +<p>Note that the exFAT filesystem is a patent of Microsoft Corporation. The exFAT feature of FatFs is an implementation based on <cite>US. Pat. App. Pub. No. 2009/0164440 A1</cite>. FatFs module can switch the exFAT on or off by a configuration option, <tt><a href="config.html#fs_exfat">FF_FS_EXFAT</a></tt>. When enable the exFAT for the commercial products, a license by Microsoft will be needed depends on the final destination of the products.</p> +<p><em>Remarks: Enabling exFAT discards C89 compatibility and it wants C99 because of need for 64-bit integer type.</em></p> +</div> + +<div class="para doc" id="lba64"> +<h3>64-bit LBA</h3> +<p>LBA (Logical Block Addressing) is an addressing method to specify the location of data block, called <em>sector</em>, on the storage media. It is a simple linear address beginning from 0 as the first sector, 1 as the second sector and so on. The host system does not need to consider how the data block is located and managed in the storage device. FatFs supports only LBA for the media access. 32-bit LBA is a common size in the most LBA scheme. It can address up to 2<sup>32</sup> sectors, 2 TB in 512 bytes/sector. When a storage device larger than 2 TB is used, larger sector size or 64-bit LBA will be needed to address the entire sectors of the storage device.</p> +<p>By default, FatFs works in 32-bit LBA for media access. FatFs can also switch it to 64-bit LBA by a configuration option <tt><a href="config.html#fs_lba64">FF_LBA64</a></tt>. It also enables GPT (GUID Partition Table) for partiotion management on the storage device.

FatFs can also be configured to make it thread-safe by an option <tt><a href="config.html#fs_reentrant">FF_FS_REENTRANT</a></tt>.

If the wait time exceeded a period defined by <tt>FF_TIMEOUT</tt>, the file function will abort with <tt>FR_TIMEOUT</tt>. The timeout feature might not be supported on the some OSs. To enable this feature, OS dependent synchronization control functions, <tt>ff_mutex_create/ff_mutex_delete/ff_mutex_take/ff_mutex_give</tt>, need to be added to the project.

-<p>As for the MS-DOS and PC DOS for CJK, it was case-sensitive to the DBCS extended characters. To follow this specification, FatFs works with case-sensitive to the extended characters at only non-LFN with DBCS configuration (DOS/DBCS specs). But at LFN configuration, FatFs works with case-insensitive to the extended character (WindowsNT specs). This can cause a problem on compatibility with Windows system when an object with extended characters is created on the volume at non-LFN and DBCS configuration; therfore the object names with DBCS extended characters should not be used on the FAT volume shared by those systems.</p>

-<p>The FAT sub-type, FAT12/FAT16/FAT32, of FAT volume except exFAT is determined by only number of clusters on the volume and nothing else, according to the FAT specification issued by Microsoft.

-<p>The allocation unit, also called <em>cluster</em>, is a unit of disk space allocation for files. When the size of allocation unit is 32768 bytes, a file with 100 bytes in size occupies 32768 bytes of disk space. The space efficiency of disk usage gets worse as increasing size of allocation unit, but, on the other hand, the read/write performance increases as the size of allocation unit. Therefore the size of allocation unit is a trade-off between space efficiency and performance. For the large storages in GB order, 32768 bytes or larger (this is automatically selected by default) is recommended for most case unless extremely many small files are created on a volume.</p>
-<p>There are three disk partitioning formats, FDISK, SFD and GPT. The FDISK format is usually used for harddisk, memory card and U disk. It can divide a physical drive into one or more partitions with a partition table on the MBR (maser boot record, the first sector of the physical drive). The SFD (super-floppy disk) is non-partitioned disk format. The FAT volume starts at the first sector of the physical drive without any disk partitioning. It is usually used for floppy disk, optical disk and most super-floppy media. Some systems support only either one of the two disk formats and the other is not supported. The GPT (GUID Partition Table) is a newly defined format for large storage devices. FatFs does not support the storages with GPT.</p>

FatFs suppors the GPT only when 64-bit LBA is enabled. The SFD, Super-Floppy Disk, is non-partitioned disk format. The FAT volume is located at LBA 0 and occupies the entire physical drive without any disk partitioning. It is usually used for floppy disk, optical disk and most super-floppy media.
