# SPIFFS (SPI Flash File System)

@ -30,14 +30,14 @@ What spiffs does:
- Uses statically sized ram buffers, independent of number of files
- Posix-like api: open, close, read, write, seek, stat, etc
- It can run on any NOR flash, not only SPI flash - theoretically also on embedded flash of a microprocessor
- Multiple spiffs configurations can be run on same target - and even on same SPI flash device
- Multiple spiffs configurations can run on same target - and even on same SPI flash device
- Implements static wear leveling
- Built in file system consistency checks
- Highly configurable
What spiffs does not:
- Presently, spiffs does not support directories. It produces a flat structure. Creating a file with path *tmp/myfile.txt* will create a file called *tmp/myfile.txt* instead of a *myfile.txt* under directory *tmp*.
- It is not a realtime stack. One write operation might take much longer than another.
- It is not a realtime stack. One write operation might last much longer than another.
- Poor scalability. Spiffs is intended for small memory devices - the normal sizes for SPI flashes. Going beyond ~128Mbyte is probably a bad idea. This is a side effect of the design goal to use as little ram as possible.
- Presently, it does not detect or handle bad blocks.
- One configuration, one binary. There's no generic spiffs binary that handles all types of configurations.

## HISTORY
### 0.3.6
- Fix range bug in index memory mapping #98
- Add index memory mapping #97
- Optimize SPIFFS_read for large files #96
- Add temporal cache for opening files #95
- More robust gc #93 (thanks @dismirlian)
- Fixed a double write of same data in certain cache situations
- Fixed an open bug in READ_ONLY builds
- File not visible in SPIFFS_readdir #90 (thanks @benpicco-tmp)
- Cache load code cleanup #92 (thanks @niclash)
- Fixed lock/unlock asymmetry #88 #87 (thanks @JackJefferson, @dpruessner)
- Testframe updates
New API functions:
- `SPIFFS_ix_map` - map index meta data to memory for a file
- `SPIFFS_ix_unmap` - unmaps index meta data for a file
- `SPIFFS_ix_remap` - changes file offset for index metadata map
- `SPIFFS_bytes_to_ix_map_entries` - utility, get length of needed vector for given amount of bytes
- `SPIFFS_ix_map_entries_to_bytes` - utility, get number of bytes a vector can represent given length
New config defines:
- `SPIFFS_IX_MAP` - enable possibility to map index meta data to memory for reading faster
- `SPIFFS_TEMPORAL_FD_CACHE` - enable temporal cache for opening files faster
- `SPIFFS_TEMPORAL_CACHE_HIT_SCORE` - for tuning the temporal cache
### 0.3.5
- Fixed a bug in fs check
- API returns actual error codes #84) (thanks @Nails)
