config FS_FAT
bool "FAT file system"
default n
depends on !DISABLE_MOUNTPOINT
---help---
Enable FAT filesystem support
if FS_FAT
config FAT_COMPUTE_FSINFO
bool "FAT compute free space in FSINFO at mount time"
default n
---help---
Enables the computation of free clusters at mount time as suggested by the
white paper for FAT. The standard behavior of NuttX is to trust the stored
value and only recompute it once required. This works if the file system
is never mounted to another OS. SD-cards which are mounted to Windows to
modify the content might report wrong space after reinserting it to NuttX.
It is recommended to activate this setting if the "SD-Card" is swapped
between systems.
config FAT_LCNAMES
bool "FAT upper/lower names"
default n
---help---
Enable use of the NT-style upper/lower case 8.3
file name support.
config FAT_LFN
bool "FAT long file names"
default n
---help---
Enable FAT long file names. NOTE: Microsoft claims
patents on FAT long file name technology. Please read the
disclaimer in the top-level NOTICE file and only enable this
feature if you understand these issues.
config FAT_MAXFNAME
int "FAT maximum file name size"
depends on FAT_LFN
default NAME_MAX
range 12 255
---help---
If FAT_LFN is defined, then the default, maximum long file
name is 255 bytes. This can eat up a lot of memory (especially stack
space). If you are willing to live with some non-standard, short long
file names, then define this value to be something more reasonable. A
good choice would be the same value as selected for NAME_MAX which will
limit the visibility of longer file names anyway.
This setting may not exceed NAME_MAX. That will be verified at compile
time. The minimum values is 12 due to assumptions in internal logic.
config FAT_LFN_ALIAS_HASH
bool "Use faster method for forming long filename 8.3 alias"
depends on FAT_LFN
default n
---help---
Long filenames on FAT filesystems have associated 8.3 character alias
short filenames. The traditional form of these is FILENA~1.EXT with
a running count of the number of similar names. However creating this
unique count can take several seconds if there are many similarly named
files in the directory. Enabling FAT_LFN_ALIAS_HASH uses an alternative
format of FI0123~1.TXT where the four digits are a hash of the original
filename. This method is similar to what is used by Windows 2000 and
later.
config FAT_LFN_UTF8
bool "Allow UTF8 long filenames"
depends on FAT_LFN
default n
---help---
UTF8 long filenames are accepted and converted to UCS2.
config FAT_LFN_ALIAS_TRAILCHARS
int "Number of trailing characters to use for 8.3 alias"
depends on FAT_LFN
default 0
---help---
Traditional format for long filename 8.3 aliases takes first 6
characters of long filename. If this option is set to N > 0,
NuttX will instead take first 6-N and last N characters to form
the short name. This is useful for filenames like "datafile12.txt"
where the first characters would always remain the same.
config FS_FATTIME
bool "FAT timestamps"
default n
---help---
Support FAT date and time. NOTE: There is not
much sense in supporting FAT date and time unless you have a
hardware RTC or other way to get the time and date.
config FAT_FORCE_INDIRECT
bool "Force direct transfers"
default n
---help---
Normally, the default behavior for the FAT file system is to perform
data transfers indirectly though specially allocated sector buffers
or, under certain circumstances, directly through user provided
buffers . These circumstances are: (1) The transfer is being
performed from the beginning of a sector (2) the user-provided
buffer will hold the full sector of data.
Some hardware, however, may require special DMA-capable memory or
specially aligned memory in order to perform the transfers. In this
case, there may be no circumstance where the user buffer can be used.
Selecting this option will disable all attempts to use the user-
provided buffer: All transfers will be force to be performed
indirectly through the FAT file systems sector buffers.
Note: This will have the negative impact of: (1) An extra data
copy to transfer the data between the user buffer and the FAT file
systems internal sector buffers, and (2) A loss of performance
because I/O will be limited to one sector at a time.
This would typically be used with CONFIG_FAT_DMAMEMORY so that
special memory allocators are also used and transfers are also
performed using only that specially allocated memory.
CONFIG_FAT_DMAMEMORY, on the other hand, is often used without
CONFIG_FAT_FORCE_INDIRECT when the user memory buffers may come
from mixed locations, some of which are DMA-able and some of
which are not. But CONFIG_FAT_FORCE_INDIRECT could be used
without CONFIG_FAT_DMAMEMORY if there is, for example, only a
memory alignment constraints.
FORCE_ DMA DIRECT EXAMPLE USAGE

Y Y * Use specially allocated memory;
Never use caller provided buffer
Y N * Not recommended
N Y ** Special memory required; user memory
has mixed capability; sometimes
caller memory is not usable
N N Y No special memory but there are
alignment requirements; return is
caller buffer is not properly aligned
N N N User memory can always be used for
transfer.
* CONFIG_DIRECT_RETRY cannot be selected with CONFIG_FORCE_INDIRECT
** CONFIG_DIRECT_RETRY is automatically selected with CONFIG_DMA_MEMORY
config FAT_DMAMEMORY
bool "DMA memory allocator"
default n
select FAT_DIRECT_RETRY if !FAT_FORCE_INDIRECT
---help---
The FAT file system allocates two I/O buffers for data transfer, each
are the size of one device sector. One of the buffers is allocated
once for each FAT volume that is mounted; the other buffers are
allocated each time a FAT file is opened.
Some hardware, however, may require special DMA-capable memory in
order to perform the transfers. If FAT_DMAMEMORY is defined
then the architecture-specific hardware must provide the functions
fat_dma_alloc() and fat_dma_free(): fat_dmalloc() will allocate
DMA-capable memory of the specified size; fat_dmafree() is the
corresponding function that will be called to free the DMA-capable
memory.

config FAT_DIRECT_RETRY
bool "Direct transfer retry"
default y if FAT_DMAMEMORY
default n if !FAT_DMAMEMORY
depends on !FAT_FORCE_INDIRECT
---help---
The FAT file system contains internal, well aligned sector buffers
for indirect data transfer. These transfers are indirect in the
sense that that the actual transfer occurs into/out of the sector
buffers and an additional copy is necessary to/from the user-
provided I/O buffers. But under certain conditions, the FAT file
system will use the caller-provided I/O buffers directly to improve
efficiency. Those conditions are (1) CONFIG_FAT_FORCE_INDIRECT is
not defined, (2) The access is to/from the beginning of a sector,
and (3) the user provided buffer is large enough to hold an entire
sector.
The lower level SDIO driver may have, certain requirements on the
memory buffer in order to perform the transfer. Perhaps special
DMA memory should be used (with CONFIG_FAT_DMAMEMORY) or perhaps
some special memory alignment is required to interface with the
hardware.
If this option is selected, then the FAT file system will first
try the user provided I/O buffer under above conditions. If the
transfer fails with -EFAULT. then the FAT file system will try one
more time using the internal sector buffers.
