FreeRTOS+FAT is still in the lab
FreeRTOS+FAT is already in use in commercial products and we encourage you to try it yourself. Be aware however that FreeRTOS+FAT was acquired by Real Time Engineers Ltd., and is still being documented and updated to ensure it meets our strict quality standards. Please use the forum for support, or contact us directly if you have a specific business interest.

ff_fopen()

[FreeRTOS+FAT Standard API Reference]

ff_stdio.h 
FF_FILE *ff_fopen( const char *pcFile, const char *pcMode );

Opens a file in the embedded FAT file system.

Parameters:

pcFile   A pointer to a standard null terminated C string that holds the name of the file being opened. The string can include a relative path.

pcMode   A string that sets the mode in which the file is opened. Valid strings include:

Letter Mode
"r" Open the file for reading only.
"r+" Open the file for reading and writing.
"w" Open a file for reading and writing. If the file already exists it will be truncated to zero length. If the file does not already exist it will be created.
"a" Open a file for writing. If the file already exists then new data will be appended to the end of the file. If the file does not already exist it will be created.
"a+" Open a file for reading and writing. If the file already exists then new data will be appended to the end of the file. If the file does not already exist it will be created.

Files are always opened in binary mode.

Returns:

If the file was opened successfully then a pointer to the file is returned.

If the file could not be opened then NULL is returned and the task's errno is set to indicate the reason. A task can obtain its errno value using the ff_errno() API function.

Example usage: 


BaseType_t xCopyFile( char *pcSourceFileName, char *pcDestinationFileName )
{
FF_FILE *pxSourceFile, *pxDestinationFile;
size_t xCount;
uint32_t ucBuffer[ 50 ];

    /* Open the source file in read only mode. */
    pxSourceFile = ff_fopen( pcSourceFileName, "r" );

    if( pxSourceFile != NULL )
    {
        /* Create or overwrite a writable file. */
        pxDestinationFile = ff_fopen( pcDestinationFileName, "w+" );

        if( pxDestinationFile != NULL )
        {
            for( ;; )
            {
                /* Read sizeof( ucBuffer ) bytes from the source file into a buffer. */
                xCount = ff_fread( ucBuffer, 1, sizeof( ucBuffer ), pxSourceFile );

                /* Write however many bytes were read from the source file into the
                destination file. */
                ff_fwrite( ucBuffer, xCount, 1, pxDestinationFile );

                if( xCount < sizeof( ucBuffer ) )
                {
                    /* The end of the flie was reached. */
                    break;
                }
            }

            /* Close the destination file. */
            ff_fclose( pxDestinationFile );
        }

        /* Close the source file. */
        ff_fclose( pxSourceFile );
    }
}
