Introduction

The files system driver hides the specific architecture of the device and file system management from the user. From the users point of view all devices have a common interface. The user can call standard I/O functions as fopen, fclose, fread, fwrite to access the devices. Each devices is addressed by a path. The path consists of the partition name followed by a colon and the path in Microsoft Windows style.

Naming convention

The style of the path naming is associated to Microsoft Windows. A possible path on the SD Memory Card could be: sd0:\samplepath1\samplepath2

File System Manager

Files associated: fsmgr.c , fsmgr.h

Directories: BLACKSheep/common/fs

The file system manager manages different file systems. Each file-system has to be registered at the file system manager to be known at the system. The example shows how to register a file-system to the file system manager and how a partition is mounted into the system.

Example: <source lang="c"> // registering the fat file system fs_register("fat", fat_getFileFunctions() );

// mounting a sd-card partitionformattet with the FAT file system // The partition name is sd0 fs_mountPartition("sd0", "sd0", "fat"); </source>

Prior to use any functionality of the file system manager he has to be initialized by calling the fs_setup function.
