SPIFFS (SPI Flash File System)

V0.3.7

Build Status

INTRODUCTION

Spiffs is a file system intended for SPI NOR flash devices on embedded targets.

Spiffs is designed with following characteristics in mind:

  • Small (embedded) targets, sparse RAM without heap
  • Only big areas of data (blocks) can be erased
  • An erase will reset all bits in block to ones
  • Writing pulls one to zeroes
  • Zeroes can only be pulled to ones by erase
  • Wear leveling

BUILDING

mkdir build; make

Otherwise, configure the builddir variable towards the top of makefile as something opposed to the default build. Sanity check on the host via make test and refer to .travis.yml for the official in-depth testing procedure. See the wiki for integrating spiffs into projects and spiffsimg from nodemcu is a good example on the subject.

FEATURES

What spiffs does:

  • Specifically designed for low ram usage
  • Uses statically sized ram buffers, independent of number of files
  • Posix-like api: open, close, read, write, seek, stat, etc
  • It can run on any NOR flash, not only SPI flash - theoretically also on embedded flash of a microprocessor
  • Multiple spiffs configurations can run on same target - and even on same SPI flash device
  • Implements static wear leveling
  • Built in file system consistency checks
  • Highly configurable

What spiffs does not:

  • Presently, spiffs does not support directories. It produces a flat structure. Creating a file with path tmp/myfile.txt will create a file called tmp/myfile.txt instead of a myfile.txt under directory tmp.
  • It is not a realtime stack. One write operation might last much longer than another.
  • Poor scalability. Spiffs is intended for small memory devices - the normal sizes for SPI flashes. Going beyond ~128Mbyte is probably a bad idea. This is a side effect of the design goal to use as little ram as possible.
  • Presently, it does not detect or handle bad blocks.
  • One configuration, one binary. There's no generic spiffs binary that handles all types of configurations.

NOTICE

0.4.0 is under construction. This is a full rewrite and will change the underlying structure. Hence, it will not be compatible with earlier versions of the filesystem. The API is the same, with minor modifications. Some config flags will be removed (as they are mandatory in 0.4.0) and some features might fall away until 0.4.1. If you have any worries or questions, it can be discussed in issue #179

MORE INFO
