FATFS partition generator
-------------------------
We provide partition generator for FATFS (:component_file:`fatfsgen.py<fatfs/fatfsgen.py>`)
which is integrated into the build system and could be easily used in the user project.
The tool is used to create filesystem images on a host and populate it with content of the specified host folder.
Current implementation supports short file names, FAT12 and read-only mode
(because the wear levelling is not implemented yet). The WL, long file names, and FAT16 are subjects of future work.
Build system integration with FATFS partition generator
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It is possible to invoke FATFS generator directly from the CMake build system by calling ``fatfs_create_partition_image``::
fatfs_create_partition_image(<partition> <base_dir> [FLASH_IN_PROJECT])
``fatfs_create_partition_image`` must be called from project's CMakeLists.txt.
The arguments of the function are as follows:
1. partition - the name of the partition, you can define in partition table (e.g. :example_file:`storage/fatfsgen/partitions_example.csv`)
2. base_dir - the directory that will be encoded to FATFS partition and optionally flashed into the device. Beware that you have to specified suitable size of the partition in the partition table.
3. flag ``FLASH_IN_PROJECT`` - optionally, user can opt to have the image automatically flashed together with the app binaries, partition tables, etc. on ``idf.py flash -p <PORT>`` by specifying ``FLASH_IN_PROJECT``.
For example::
fatfs_create_partition_image(my_fatfs_partition my_folder FLASH_IN_PROJECT)
If FLASH_IN_PROJECT is not specified, the image will still be generated, but you will have to flash it manually using ``esptool.py`` or a custom build system target.
For an example, see :example:`storage/fatfsgen`.
