The Xilinx fat file system (FFS) library consists of a file system and a glue layer. This FAT file system can be used with an interface supported in the glue layer. The file system code is open source and is used as it is. Currently, the Glue layer implementation supports the SD/eMMC interface and a RAM based file system. Application should make use of APIs provided in ff.h. These file system APIs access the driver functions through the glue layer.

The file system supports FAT16, FAT32, and exFAT (optional). The APIs are standard file system APIs. For more information, see the http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/00index_e.html.

Note: The XilFFS library uses Revision R0.13b of the generic FAT filesystem module.
