UBIFS without Linux, only SYS/BIOS?

Hello,

is it possible to use the UBIFS file system with the TI SYS/BIOS?

Best Regards

    Hi SysbiosUser,

    I had not heard of UBIFS until now.  As such, I cannot really tell you if it is possible to use/integrate it with SYS/BIOS or not.

    But, SYS/BIOS is open source, and so you are free to try to do this.

    What are your concerns?  I see that (from a quick read of a web page describing UBIFS) that the file system is not traditional in the sense that it is not meant to (or cannot) be used with block devices such as SD cards, USB flash drivers, SSDs, etc.  Is this what you're wondering about?

    Hi Steve,

    my intention is to use a file system for memory mapped NAND/NOR flash memories. I'm aware of the missing support for block devices.

    In general, I'm interested in the estimated effort to port a filesystem designed to run with linux (eg UBIFS, LogFS, JFFS, YAFFS) to a SYS/BIOS system. Is this possible at all?

    Best Regards

    Which hardware platform are you using?

    SYS/BIOS ships with support for FatFS.  Have you had a look at that?

    While there's nothing stopping you from porting another file system to work with SYS/BIOS (again, it's open source so you are free to do that), but it may be easier to use the existing FatFS support.
