Hi ,i have created a file stm32.txt by porting fatfs into flash and verified write and read baremetal,now can this file be visible to my pc if i bring up and add an usb interface msc device config.Is this possible .

[svii]

I have done this:

1) created a file using fatfs on flash open and read ,it is working.

2) created a usb interface configured as msc device,when plugged into pc, new drive gets created, however it asks to format it. I have added only

read functionality of flash to this:

STORAGE_Read_FS(uint8_t lun, uint8_t *buf, uint32_t blk_addr, uint16_t blk_len) . not added write functionality.

/////////////////////////////////////main.c//////////////////////////////////////////

USBD_Init(&hUsbDeviceFS, &FS_Desc, DEVICE_FS);

 USBD_RegisterClass(&hUsbDeviceFS, &USBD_MSC);

USBD_MSC_RegisterStorage(&hUsbDeviceFS,&USBD_Storage_Interface_fops_FS);  

USBD_Start(&hUsbDeviceFS); 

 if( FATFS_LinkDriver(&USER_Driver, USERPath)== 0)

{

  /*##-2- Init the SD Card #################################################*/

#if FATFS_MKFS_ALLOWED

   FRESULT res;

    res = f_mkfs(USERPath, FM_ANY, 0, workBuffer, 4096);

   if (res != FR_OK)

   {

    Error_Handler();

   }

#endif

 FS_FileOperations();

the usb does not detect the file stm32.txt created , fs_fileoperation also fails .

what is wrong ,thanks in advance.

I wouldn't try to access them both concurrently, but yes a correctly built MSC device should be able to access a FatFs created volume on a PC.

The MSC would need to report the capacity and block size used.

That does seem overly complex and convoluted. Is the erase size a sector or a sub-sector?

Can't you tell the systems you're using a 4KB block size.

You have stack space to accommodate this? Using GNU/GCC?​

[svii]

Hi thanks for the reply, the erase is the sector size which is 4K minimum for the flash erase operation, i did configure to use 4KB block size allocation but the system fails , it would have been easier if it had worked , hence tried to fix the size to 512 bytes allocation size .Sorry for the above code, didn't use any comments to follow,

what it does is to read ,erase , write a sector for 512 bytes with 4k erase without loosing the subsector data within the sector.Thanks in advance.

[svii]

hi, the

a0 = add_blk * 512;   

a1 = blk_len * 1;

a0 is the address to the flash ie add_blk= 1; a0 =512.

a1 is the blk len should this multiplied by 512 else remain the same as above confused . Thanks

[svii]

hi, thanks i was able to make the usb msc work ,created a folder wrote a text file and checked it.
