File_ex1

The File_ex1 example program shows the use of the Flash File System to store, retrieve, and manage files on a RAM Device. The example is located in the folder \Keil\ARM\RL\FlashFS\Examples\File_ex1.

Follow these steps to test the application:

1. Open the project File_ex1.uvproj.
2. Build the application and run it with the µVision Debugger.
3. Open the serial window UART #2 and enter the file commands:
   
   

   Command	Description
   N name	Creates or sets the file name for all file operations. By default, this name is used for other commands.
   C	Captures the text entered from a serial window to a file. Uses the file name set by the N command. CAPTURE.TXT is the default file name.
   A	Appends the text entered from a serial window to the end of file.
   R	Reads a file content and output it to a serial window.
   E new	Renames a file to a new file name. The file name set by the N command is renamed.
   D	Deletes a file.
   L	Lists the directory files.

4. Enter the command C to capture the output.

   Command: C
   

   Now, any text entered in the serial window is written to the default file CAPTURE.TXT.

5. The default capturing file can be changed using the command N, for example N INDEX.TXT, before starting capturing.
   

   Command: N INDEX.TXT
   Command: C
   

   Any text entered is written to the file INDEX.TXT. Press ESC to end the capturing process.

6. Use the L command to display the list of all files.
   

   Command: L
   

   The files appear as in the following example:
