Heavy On Features

Overview

LITE is a fail-safe file system designed for flash devices with small erasable sectors. It is ideal for most standard serial flash parts, as well as flash-based microcontrollers with small erasable sectors (e.g. MSP430) and RAM drives.

Features

    1. 100% power fail-safe
    2. Small code footprint (typically 5-10K)
    3. Tiny RAM usage (<100 bytes possible)
    4. Configurable filename length
    5. Directory handling
    6. Multiple files open simultaneously

LITE is 100% safe against power failure

Embedded devices do not typically have sophisticated disk recovery programs. If an embedded file system becomes corrupted, what will happen to the system? Lost sectors? Failure of the whole device? How do you repair it? Robust is not enough in many cases: the system should be designed to restore your file system from whatever point it failed. The LITE file system does this.
