Overview
Description
Open Source FAT File System, M3S-TFAT-Tiny (TFAT) is a FAT file system that only requires a small amount of memory.
Use TFAT in any device incorporating a target microcontroller for functions such as accumulating measured or archived data, or rewriting a stored program via memory card. Although TFAT is a FAT file system, and PC data exchange capability enable analysis and management of data by a PC application.
Components
- File system software (binary format library)
- Sample program that supports Renesas integrated development environment
- Library function user's manual and other documents in a complete set
Image
Features
- Compact design tailored for embedded systems
Realizable using the internal memory of the microcontroller
Approx. ROM 12.7KB Approx. RAM 4byte and the stack approx 200-byte - OS is unnecessary
- The supplied sample programs include sample software for reading/writing files to MultiMediaCard on the CPU board which comes with the Renesas Starter Kit.

AI-generated Summary:
Integration enables file operations on storage media by combining the M3S-TFAT-Tiny open-source FAT file system with the SPI mode multimedia card (MMC) driver for RL78 MCUs. Sample code provides memory driver interface functions for seamless interaction. The solution supports file read/write but excludes disk cache control via R_tfat_f_sync(). Operation is validated on RL78/G23 MCUs using microSD cards under specified conditions with CC-RL and LLVM toolchains. The document details software structure, function modifications, usage notes, and hardware setup for effective integration.

AI-generated Summary:
The document outlines the structure and specifications of the TFAT library for the RL78 family, including supported FAT types (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) and filename format (8.3). It details the software stack architecture, development environment requirements, and version information. Memory requirements for ROM, RAM, and stack sizes are specified, along with the sizes of key data structures like FATFS, FIL, and DIR. The library supports one drive and logical sector size is 512 bytes.

AI-generated Summary:
The RL78 Family SPI mode MultiMediaCard (MMC) driver enables communication between RL78 MCUs and MMCs using SPI mode. It supports multiple devices via CS signals and operates with commands for single or multiple block reads/writes. The driver is OS-independent and defines one sector as 512 bytes. The package includes source code, common functions, and configuration files for various compilers and clock speeds, facilitating integration and application development.
