Do our nrf5 SDK support the transfer the FileSystem to our SoC?

[Smile Jiang]

Hi support team

        One of our customer ask if it's possible to transfer a file system(LittleFS,refer:https://github.com/ARMmbed/littlefs) to our Soc?? If not, are there some limitations? Or if it's possible, can you provide me some resource needed?

        I know we have some reference APIs in ncs (https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/1.2.0/zephyr/reference/file_system/index.html#file-systems), but the customer now is based on nrf5 SDK.

        So hope you can give some suggestions~

        Thanks in advance!

I think it should be possible. However, the easiest approach may be to use the already present file system FDS. Check out the FDS example on guidance on how to implement it. Ask the customer if this file system is sufficient.

However, please tell me if it's not sufficient. And I can investigate the initial question.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon

      FDS can not meet their needs, they want the system like littleFS,

      I know that we have another customer use fatfs file system in freertos based on our nrf5 SDK...So I think it's possible to implement littleFS too.

Yes, it have port of littleFS.

This link shows an example using littleFS for nrf52840 with zephyr RTOS. You can look at its implementation there in more detail, since the code is open.

In this ticket, there is a customer which has been able to implement littleFS in nRF5 SDK v16 using nRF52840. Check it out here.

Best regards,

Simon
