Programming Languages
Projects that are alternatives of or similar to Esp32 mkfatfs
Example of using FAT with ESP32
Features
- prepare of FAT image
- flash FAT image to ESP32
- example of FAT functions
How to build
Configure your esp32 build environment as for other esp-idf examples
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/jkearins/ESP32_mkfatfs.git
Execute menuconfig and configure your Serial flash config and other settings. Included sdkconfig.defaults sets some defaults to be used.
make menuconfig
Make and flash the example.
make all && make flash && make flashfatfs
Prepare FAT image
FAT image can be prepared on host and flashed to ESP32.
Tested and works under Windows, Linux and Mac OS.
Copy the files to be included on FAT into components/fatfs_image/image/ directory. Subdirectories can also be added.
Execute:
make makefatfs
to create FAT image in build directory without flashing to ESP32
Execute:
make flashfatfs
to create FAT image in build directory and flash it to ESP32
Execute:
make copyfatfs
to flash previously prepared in build directory FAT image to ESP32
Example functions
- registers FAT as VFS file system; if the fs is not mounted the system will halt
- lists files in root directory

The tool is inspired by mkspiffs tool created by loboris and introduced at ESP32 Forum topic. To manage FATFS objects I used Kolban's cpp_utils from esp32-snippets project. Files for sample flash image have been gotten from another Kolban's project ESP32_Explorer introduced at ESP32 Forum topic.
