58<h4>Description</h4>\r
289f6a14 59<p>Read/write operation to the generic storage devices, such as memory card, hadddisk and optical disk, is done in unit of block of data bytes called <em>sector</em>. FatFs supports the sector size in range of 512 to 4096 bytes. When FatFs is configured for fixed sector size (<tt>FF_MIN_SS == FF_MAX_SS</tt>, this is the most case), the read/write function must work at that sector size. When FatFs is configured for variable sector size (<tt>FF_MIN_SS &lt; FF_MAX_SS</tt>), the sector size of medium is inquired with <tt>disk_ioctl</tt> function immediately following <tt>disk_initialize</tt> function succeeded.</p>\r
70702af1 60<p>The memory address specified by <tt class="arg">buff</tt> is not that always aligned to word boundary because the argument is defined as <tt>BYTE*</tt>. The unaligned read/write request can occure at <a href="appnote.html#fs1">direct transfer</a>. If the bus architecture, especially DMA controller, does not allow unaligned memory access, it should be solved in this function. There are some workarounds described below to avoid this issue.</p>\r
53668523 61<ul>\r
7b78a5a2 62<li>Convert word transfer to byte transfer in this function if needed. - Recommended.</li>\r
289f6a14
L
63<li>On the <tt>f_read()</tt> calls, avoid long read request that includes a whole of sector. - Any direct transfer never occures.</li>\r
64<li>On the <tt>f_read(fp, dat, btw, bw)</tt> calls, make sure that <tt>(((UINT)dat &amp; 3) == (f_tell(fp) &amp; 3))</tt> is true. - Word alignment of <tt class="arg">buff</tt> is guaranteed no matter dat is not word aligned.</li>\r
53668523 65</ul>\r
289f6a14 66<p>Generally, a multiple sector read request must not be split into single sector transactions to the storage device, or read throughput gets worse.</p>\r
