FAT Storage Partition - has to be 1M?

Postby Fugazi » Wed May 17, 2017 8:07 am

Hi

With the wear levelling example, does the fat partition have to be over a certain value?

I am only storing a 1K file so it would be good to have smaller, gives more space for OTA.

Smallest it seems to work with is around the 600K size.

When I change to a smaller partition size it complains

I (1216) cpu_start: Starting scheduler on APP CPU.
W (1216) vfs_fat_spiflash: f_mount failed (13)
I (1216) vfs_fat_spiflash: Formatting FATFS partition
E (1226) vfs_fat_spiflash: f_mkfs failed (14)
E (1236) example: Failed to mount FATFS (0xffffffff)

Thanks

With 4k sector size, the smallest FAT partition size is 512K (128 sectors), plus 4 sectors used by WL, makes the minimum of 528K.

In the next version, we will support 512b logical sector size in WL, which will allow smaller partitions to be supported.
