#166753 - Does it need a file system? Responding to: ???'s previous message |
If you want to simply read PC files, and/or write files that a PC can read, then you will also need a PC-compatible file system - whether you use a USB stick or some other device.
I think the Vinculum has FAT support built-in; Other "FAT-on-a-chip" solutions are available; Several open-source software FAT implementations are available for "small" microcontrollers. The alternative is to just have the 8051 access the storage medium at its "raw" sector level, and then create a PC utility to allow the PC to access it. You need to more fully define your requirements! Once your requirements are clearly & fully defined, then you can consider whether an 8051 is a suitable target for your application... |
