Fat16 supports read, write, file -creation, deletion, and truncation. - -The Fat16 class only supports access to files in the root directory and only -supports short 8.3 names. Directory time and date fields for creation -and modification can be maintained by providing a date/time callback -function \link Fat16::dateTimeCallback() dateTimeCallback()\endlink -or calling \link Fat16::timestamp() timestamp()\endlink. - -Fat16 was designed to use the Arduino Print class which -allows files to be written with \link Print::print() print() \endlink and -\link Print::println() println()\endlink. - -\section comment Bugs and Comments - -If you wish to report bugs or have comments, send email to fat16lib@sbcglobal.net. - - -\section SDcard SD Cards - -Arduinos access SD cards using the cards SPI protocol. PCs, Macs, and -most consumer devices use the 4-bit parallel SD protocol. A card that -functions well on A PC or Mac may not work well on the Arduino. - -Most cards have good SPI read performance but cards vary widely in SPI -write performance. Write performance is limited by how efficiently the -card manages internal erase/remapping operations. The Arduino cannot -optimize writes to reduce erase operations because of its limit RAM. - -SanDisk cards generally have good write performance. They seem to have -more internal RAM buffering than other cards and therefore can limit -the number of flash erase operations that the Arduino forces due to its -limited RAM. - -Some Dane-Elec cards have a write speed that is only 20% as fast as -a good SanDisk card. - - -\section Hardware Hardware Configuration -Fat16 was developed using an <A HREF = "http://www.adafruit.com/"> Adafruit Industries</A> -<A HREF = "http://ladyada.net/make/gpsshield/modules.html"> GPS Shield</A>. - -The hardware interface to the SD card should not use a resistor based level -shifter. SdCard::init() sets the SPI bus frequency to 8 MHz which results in -signal rise times that are too slow for the edge detectors in many newer SD card -controllers when resistor voltage dividers are used. - -The 5 to 3.3 V level shifter for 5 V arduinos should be IC based like the -74HC4050N based circuit shown in the file SdLevel.png. The Adafruit Wave Shield -uses a 74AHC125N. Gravitech sells SD and MicroSD Card Adapters based on the -74LCX245. - -If you are using a resistor based level shifter and are having problems try -setting the SPI bus frequency to 4 MHz. This can be done by using -card.init(true) to initialize the SD card. - - -\section Fat16Class Fat16 Usage - -The class Fat16 is a minimal implementation of FAT16 on standard SD cards. -High Capacity SD cards, SDHC, are not supported. It should work on all -standard cards from 8MB to 2GB formatted with a FAT16 file system. - -\note - The Arduino Print class uses character -at a time writes so it was necessary to use a \link Fat16::sync() sync() \endlink -function to control when data is written to the SD card. - -\par -An application which writes to a file using \link Print::print() print()\endlink, -\link Print::println() println() \endlink -or \link Fat16::write write() \endlink must call \link Fat16::sync() sync() \endlink -at the appropriate time to force data and directory information to be written -to the SD Card. Data and directory information are also written to the SD card -when \link Fat16::close() close() \endlink is called. - -\par -Applications must use care calling \link Fat16::sync() sync() \endlink -since 2048 bytes of I/O is required to update file and -directory information. This includes writing the current data block, reading -the block that contains the directory entry for update, writing the directory -block back and reading back the current data block. - -Fat16 only supports access to files in the root directory and only supports -short 8.3 names. - -It is possible to open a file with two or more instances of Fat16. A file may -be corrupted if data is written to the file by more than one instance of Fat16. - -Short names are limited to 8 characters followed by an optional period (.) -and extension of up to 3 characters. The characters may be any combination -of letters and digits. The following special characters are also allowed: - -$ % ' - _ @ ~ ` ! ( ) { } ^ # & - -Short names are always converted to upper case and their original case -value is lost. - -Fat16 uses a slightly restricted form of short names. -Only printable ASCII characters are supported. No characters with code point -values greater than 127 are allowed. Space is not allowed even though space -was allowed in the API of early versions of DOS. - -Fat16 has been optimized for The Arduino ATmega168. Minimizing RAM use is the -highest priority goal followed by flash use and finally performance. -Most SD cards only support 512 byte block write operations so a 512 byte -cache buffer is used by Fat16. This is the main use of RAM. A small -amount of RAM is used to store key volume and file information. -Flash memory usage can be controlled by selecting options in Fat16Config.h. - -\section HowTo How to format SD Cards as FAT16 Volumes - -Microsoft operating systems support removable media formatted with a -Master Boot Record, MBR, or formatted as a super floppy with a FAT Boot Sector -in block zero. - -Microsoft operating systems expect MBR formatted removable media -to have only one partition. The first partition should be used. - -Microsoft operating systems do not support partitioning SD flash cards. -If you erase an SD card with a program like KillDisk, Most versions of -Windows will format the card as a super floppy. - -The best way to restore an SD card's MBR is to use SDFormatter -which can be downloaded from: - -http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/ - -SDFormatter does not have an option for FAT type so it may format -small cards as FAT12. - -After the MBR is restored by SDFormatter you may need to reformat small -cards that have been formatted FAT12 to force the volume type to be FAT16. - -The FAT type, FAT12, FAT16, or FAT32, is determined by the count -of clusters on the volume and nothing else. - -Microsoft published the following code for determining FAT type: - -\code -if (CountOfClusters < 4085) { - // Volume is FAT12 -} -else if (CountOfClusters < 65525) { - // Volume is FAT16 -} -else { - // Volume is FAT32 -} - -\endcode -If you format a FAT volume with an OS utility , choose a cluster size that -will result in: - -4084 < CountOfClusters && CountOfClusters < 65525 - -The volume will then be FAT16. - -If you are formatting an SD card on OS X or Linux, be sure to use the first -partition. Format this partition with a cluster count in above range. - -\section References References - -The Arduino site: - -http://www.arduino.cc/ - -For more information about FAT file systems see: - -http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/firmware/fatgen.mspx - -For information about using SD cards as SPI devices see: - -http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdcard/pls/Simplified_Physical_Layer_Spec.pdf - -The ATmega328 datasheet: - -http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc8161.pdf - - - */
