@par Application Description
How to use STM32Cube firmware with FatFs middleware component as a generic
FAT file system module. This example develops an application that exploits
FatFs features, with multidrive (USB Disk, uSD) configurations.
At the beginning of the main program the HAL_Init() function is called to reset
all the peripherals, initialize the Flash interface and the systick.
Then the SystemClock_Config() function is used to configure the system clock
(SYSCLK) to run at 216 MHz and provide 50 MHz at the output PLL divided by PLL_Q.
This frequency permit to reach 25 MHz clock needed for SD operation and in line
with microSD specification.
The application is based on writing and reading back a text file from two drives,
and it's performed using FatFs APIs to access the FAT volume as described
in the following steps:
- Link the SDRAM and uSD disk I/O drivers;
- Register the file system object (mount) to the FatFs module for both drives;
- Create a FAT file system (format) on both logical drives;
- Create and Open new text file objects with write access;
- Write data to the text files;
- Close the open text files;
- Open text file objects with read access;
- Read back data from the text files;
- Check on read data from text file;
- Close the open text files;
- Unlink the SDRAM and uSD disk I/O drivers.
It is worth noting that the application manages any error occurred during the
access to FAT volume, when using FatFs APIs. Otherwise, user can check if the
written text file is available on the uSD card.
It is possible to fine tune needed FatFs features by modifying defines values
in FatFs configuration file <20>ffconf.h<> available under the project includes
directory, in a way to fit the application requirements. In this case, two drives
are used, so the Max drive number is set to: _VOLUMES = 2 in <20>ffconf.h<> file.
STM32 Eval board's LEDs can be used to monitor the application status:
- LED1 is ON when the application runs successfully.
- LED3 is ON when any error occurs.
@note Care must be taken when using HAL_Delay(), this function provides accurate delay (in milliseconds)
based on variable incremented in SysTick ISR. This implies that if HAL_Delay() is called from
a peripheral ISR process, then the SysTick interrupt must have higher priority (numerically lower)
than the peripheral interrupt. Otherwise the caller ISR process will be blocked.
To change the SysTick interrupt priority you have to use HAL_NVIC_SetPriority() function.
@note The application needs to ensure that the SysTick time base is always set to 1 millisecond
to have correct HAL operation.

@Note<74>If the user code size exceeds the DTCM-RAM size or starts from internal cacheable memories (SRAM1 and SRAM2),that is shared between several processors,
