AN #186 - KokkeKat FAT-free SD card library Print
This application note presents a new SD card library. It is written entirely in BASCOM AVR basic
with the intention to minimize RAM usage.

by Niclas Arndt

1 What makes it special?

• Written in commented basic so you can easily understand it and make any addition or modification you see fit.
• Low dedicated RAM requirement – read, write, and append with fsinfo updating takes only 651 bytes of RAM plus 10 bytes of $hwstack . Read-only requires only 588 bytes of RAM plus 10 bytes of $hwstack.
• An integrated directory scrolling routine useful for forward and backward navigation applications, e.g. mp3 players.
• Support for long filenames when scrolling and reading files.

2 Main features

• Modular – you can easily define which parts of the library you want to use.
• SDSC, SDHC, and SDXC support. (For SDXC you need to format it with FAT32 in Mac OS or Linux.)
• FAT16 and FAT32 support in root directory and subdirectory (no support for ExFAT).
• This means that the maximum file size is 4 GB and the maximum partition size is 2 TB. It has been development tested on 32 MB SDSC, 1 GB SDSC, 4 GB SDHC, and 64 GB SDXC.
• Find file, subdirectory, parent directory, and volume ID.
• Read file with 8.3 or long filename.
• Create and write to new file with 8.3 filename.
• Create new subdirectory with 8.3 directory name.
• Append to a pre-existing file with 8.3 filename.
• Scroll forward or backward through a directory.
• Update FAT32 fsinfo sector when writing.
• Wipe out the contents while maintaining the original formatting.

3 Requirements

• You must use commercial v2.0.5.0 (or higher) of BASCOM AVR. This is because this library requires the new data type DWORD: unsigned 32-bit integer.
