Hi there, I'm looking for help with a FAT filesystem project.
I have a special made measuring device with its own on board ARM MCU and RAM memory.
Its is essentially a device that measures impedance through a tungsten filament as that filament is drilled at high RPM through a non conductive material.
The purpose is to measure the saturation of the inner lining of a fiberglass pipe that contains corrosive industrial chemicals.
After this device runs a test I am left with a large RAM chip filled with impedance measurements over a distance.
What I would like to be able to do is store this raw data on an SD card as both a CSV and image file.
The CSV would be used for further analysis done by a software program.
The image file (I haven't decided on a format) would be used to place test results directly into a report.
I have been looking through the FATFs Module website (http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/00index_e.html) as a possible option, but I've never setup this type of system before.
I would like to know if FatFs is even a plausible option for this hardware and am I even barking up the right tree.
FatFs requires a lower level disk IO layer to be written so that it can interface with the SPI port, can anyone suggest advice or a example of this being implemented?
Is there a simpler way to do this? Is FatFs the right choice?
I can answer any additional questions if needed. Thank you.
Current devices used:
MCU: NXP, MKL14Z64VLK4, 64KB, ARM M0+
RAM: ISSI, IS62WV5128, 512K x 8
