This page gives an overview of the XILFFS library.
Table of Contents
Introduction
This page provides details related to the xilffs library.
- The LibXil fat file system (FFS) library consists of a file system and a glue layer. This FAT file system can be used with an interface supported in the glue layer.
- The file system code is open source and is used as it is. Glue layer implementation supports SD/eMMC interface presently.
- Application should make use of APIs provided in ff.h. These file system APIs access the driver functions through the glue layer.

|
- data - Provides the library .tcl, .mld and .yaml files
|
- src - Library source files, make, cmakelists, config.h.in files
|
- examples - Contains example applications demonstrating the use of xilffs library
Note: AMD Xilinx embeddedsw build flow has been changed from 2023.2 release to adapt to the new system device tree based flow. For further information, refer to the wiki link Porting embeddedsw components to system device tree (SDT) based flow
The .yaml(in data folder) and CMakeLists.txt(in src folder) files are needed for the System Device Tree based flow. The Driver .tcl and .mdd files are for the older build flow which will be deprecated in future.
Library Parameters
Parameters supported by this library are listed in xilffs.mld(legacy flow) and xilffs_config.h.in(Vitis NG flow). Some of the parameters listed below for reference.
- read_only: Enables the file system in Read Only mode, if true. Default is false. Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC fsbl sets this option as true.
- use_lfn: Enables the long file name (LFN) support, if true. Default is false.
- enable_multi_partition: Enables the multi partition support, if true. Default is false.
- num_logical_vol: Number of volumes (logical drives, from 1 to 10) to be used. Default is 2.
- use_mkfs: Enables the mkfs support, if true. Default is true. Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC fsbl set this option as false.
File System
File System The file system supports FAT16 and FAT32. The APIs are standard file system APIs. A detailed description can be found at http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/00index_e.html
Revision R0.15 is used in the library
Documentation corresponding to 0.15 version (or any specific library version) is available in the doc folder if we download the 0.15 version (or corresponding version) from this link http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/archives.html
f_mkfs() in 0.15 version is NOT backward compatible with earlier FATFS supported version R0.13B.
