data appending flash storage

[Autobot]

Hello everyone,

I have trying to store my serial data in nrf52832 SDK15.2 fs flash storage i need to appending data one by one in same file. i have using fds_record_update() concet to appending data finaly i read file data using fds_record_open() this function only getting last updated data other data missing...???

How do i get all appending data get in single read function. please suggest any example code for appending one by one in nrf52 flash

Not quite sure what you mean by that, but appending data 1 byte at a time is probably not a great idea!

It would probably be better to collect the data until you have a reasonable-sized block to write...

Hello awneil,

I have received mac id serial one by one some interval duration. i need appending when mac id come serial get and store previous stored data in flash storage.

I need example code for like this functionality

Hello,

If you use fds_record_update() it will replace the old record with the new one, so either you need to read, append and write a new record with all the data that you wish to store, or alternatively write a new record, instead of updating the old one.

I already try this function fds_record_update().  Record ID increase every appending but  i was read overall data using this function fds_record_open(). I got last appending mac id only. other mac id missing. How can i get writing all mac id...???

This is my example function

struct {
  uint8_t value[1000];
} __ALIGN(4) FS_data;

bool Fs_write(const uint8_t *data, uint16_t len, uint16_t recordKey) {
	fds_record_desc_t record_desc;
	fds_find_token_t ftok = {0};
	ret_code_t rc;

	memcpy(&FS_data.value, data, len);
	
	if (fds_record_find(FILE_ID, recordKey, &record_desc, &ftok) == FDS_SUCCESS) {
        fds_record_t const rec = {
            .file_id           = DATA_STORE_FILE_ID,
            .key               = recordKey,
            .data.p_data       = &FS_data,
            .data.length_words = (len + sizeof(uint32_t)-1) / sizeof(uint32_t)
        };
		rc = fds_record_update(&record_desc, &rec);
		return (rc == FDS_SUCCESS);
	}
	else {
        fds_record_t const rec = {
            .file_id           = DATA_STORE_FILE_ID,
            .key               = recordKey,
            .data.p_data       = &FS_data,
            .data.length_words = (len + sizeof(uint32_t)-1) / sizeof(uint32_t)
        };
		rc = fds_record_write(&record_desc, &rec);
		return (rc == FDS_SUCCESS);
	}
}


bool FS_read(uint16_t recordKey, fds_flash_record_t *flash_record) {
    fds_record_desc_t   record_desc = {0};
    fds_find_token_t    ftok = {0};

    memset(&ftok, 0x00, sizeof(fds_find_token_t));

    if (fds_record_find(FILE_ID, recordKey, &record_desc, &ftok) == FDS_SUCCESS) {
        if (fds_record_open(&record_desc, flash_record) == FDS_SUCCESS) {
            fds_record_close(&record_desc);
            return true;
        }
    }

    return false;
}

 Yes. That is how it is intended to work. You have to use fds_record_write with a new record ID in order to add new data and keep the old one.
