- 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.
