littlefs

littlefs is a little fail-safe filesystem designed for microcontrollers.

Detailed introduction: https://github.com/littlefs-project/littlefs

Usage

Enable :cLV_USE_FS_LITTLEFS and define a :c:macro`LV_FS_LITTLEFS_LETTER` in lv_conf.h.

When enabled :clv_littlefs_set_handler can be used to set up a mount point.

Example

// configuration of the filesystem is provided by this struct
const struct lfs_config cfg = {
    // block device operations
    .read  = user_provided_block_device_read,
    .prog  = user_provided_block_device_prog,
    .erase = user_provided_block_device_erase,
    .sync  = user_provided_block_device_sync,

    // block device configuration
    .read_size = 16,
    .prog_size = 16,
    .block_size = 4096,
    .block_count = 128,
    .cache_size = 16,
    .lookahead_size = 16,
    .block_cycles = 500,
};

// mount the filesystem
int err = lfs_mount(&lfs, &cfg);

// reformat if we can't mount the filesystem
// this should only happen on the first boot
if (err) {
    lfs_format(&lfs, &cfg);
    lfs_mount(&lfs, &cfg);
}

lv_littlefs_set_handler(&lfs);
