 File System Overview

From basic FAT file systems to complex Flash software, our CONNECT MIDDLEWARE storage solutions offer extensive support for all types of memory used in embedded applications. Our file systems provide sophisticated solutions including failsafe storage, wear levelling and bad block management.

We offer 5 different types of file system, which are supplied fully integrated with either OPENRTOS or SAFERTOS and with other CONNECT MIDDLEWARE components if required. All our products are delivered with a fully working demo application which works ‘out of the box’ with the minimum of fuss. Having a cohesive, highly optimised integration between the file system, RTOS and target hardware ensures you achieve the maximum performance and reliability from your purchases.
