Fatfs is a small library written in C ansi that lets us manage a file system on a storage device. I am planning on using it in an embedded project in order to store several files on an SD Card.
Therefore I try to make some tests on a USB flash drive, having downloaded the provided examples. I can mount my usb flash drive.
After having compiled the sources without the option FS_READONLY, I have initialized my drive and mounted it as well. But I cannot create a directory!
Here is the commands I entered within the prompt example provided here: http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/ffsample.zip
>fi 2 (force initialisation)
rc=0 FR_OK
>di 2 (mount the drive)
rc=0
Sector size = 512
Number of sectors = 30282525
>fj (switch the current drive to '2', which is actually my usb stick)
rc=0 FR_OK
>fk foo (Attempt to create a dir called 'foo')
rc=1 FR_DISK_ERR
Taking a look at the documentation, we're informed that FR_DISK_ERR refers to an hardware error.
Is my flash drive badly formated? Did I miss something else during the initialisation?
