The Z-World FAT (File Allocation Table) file system to be used with serial flash memories. The small footprint of this well defined, industry-standard file system makes it ideal for embedded systems. This Dynamic C implementation of the FAT file system has a directory structure that can be accessed with either Unix or DOS style paths, and is compatible with Z-World removable media products and products using non-removable serial flash such as the RCM3700 and RCM3300. The standard directory structure allows for monitoring, logging, Web browsing, and FTP updates of data and applications contained in the files. A battery-backed write-thru cache reduces wear on the serial flash device and a round-robin cluster assignment spreads the wear over the device.

The FAT library can be used in either blocking or non-blocking mode and supports both FAT12 and FAT16.

The following table shows the API functions that are included in the FAT module:
