| SD/MMC FAT32 drivers (please help me!!) |

Hello,
i've looked into Code Library but i didn't find a code that really work. Can anyone tell me where i can find a fully functional FAT32 code?
I'm using MikroC Compiler (from Mikroelektronika) but i don't like it. They don't bring built-in functions sources, so i can't full-test my products.
I like CCS PCWH very much, i've done a lot of projects with it, and i am working about an industrial datalogger with Ethernet and WI-FI (using a LANTRONIX product). I have libraries for many of the IC's in the board, and i miss only the SD/MMC one
p.s. I can post my fully functional drivers for :
DS1305 RTC
CS5523/4 instrumentation ADC
Telit SIMCARD GSM modules
USART GPS module
does anyone want to exchange ? 
Many Thanks

I sell a FAT32 driver for the CCS Compiler. Details on my site.

Thanks for bringing the contact problem to my attention there was a call forwarding problem which has now been corrected. Could you please send me a personal message on this forum with your contact details and I will get back to you today.

No one has got a open-source library?
Thanks

Because of it's small RAM memory the PIC is not very well suited to write FAT32. It can be done but requires a lot of tweaking. For most commercial projects it is much cheaper to save development time and go for another processor with more RAM like the ARM or MIPS processors. These are some of the reasons you don't find that many FAT32 projects for the PIC.
You could have a look at the ELM - FAT File System Module |

Thanks. I need almost FAT16 file system, like mikroC compiler....do you know any open-source library link?
Thank you

asmallri,
Can you bootload to the PIC from sd card as well as read/write fat files? |

Not yet. I have started a project to do this (several times) but it keeps getting put aside for other priority (paying) projects. The solution is based on a stripped down file implementation for reading the image file from the root directory of a FAT16/32 implementation to minimize the bootloader footprint.
FAT12 is easy to add (less to strip out of my existing code) but I don't think there is a need for FAT12 anymore.

CCS now has a FAT implementation, check your drivers directory.

I looked, and here's the location of the driver and example files:
| Quote: | c:\program files\picc\drivers\fat.c
c:\program files\picc\examples\ex_fat.c
|
They're both dated 6/15/07 so they must have just come out.
One issue is that the released filenames are different than the ones
referenced in the files. For example, EX_FAT.c, has this line:
| Quote: | | #include <FAT_PIC.c> |
But it's obviously referring to the FAT.C file, because that file
has "FAT_PIC.C" in the comments at the start of the file.
Other new driver and example files for MMC and SD cards are:
c:\program files\picc\drivers\mmcsd.c
c:\program files\picc\examples\ex_mmcsd.c
Both dated 6/15/07. Just FYI. I didn't know they were there. |

| Could you post those files in the code section? |

We're not allowed to do that. Look at item #10 in the forum policies
at the top of the page.
If you own the compiler, you can email CCS support and ask them
nicely if they will send you those files. Include your customer reference
number in the email, so they know you own the compiler. |

I have a code writed by Tamas Bodorics (Tomi) named MyMMCFat32.c
If you want a copy please send me your email. |

The MyMMCFat32.c code is in the CCS code library, in this thread:
