Make life easy for the 8051, and let the PC do the hard work of "breaking apart" the data; 2. Make the 8051 do the hard work of handling FAT, and make life easy for the PC. Probably the "hard work" in terms of writing the code in each case is comparable. In general, I prefer to keep the embedded part as simple as possible - so I think I'd go for a simple dump format, and write a PC app to access this as required. Especially as it sounds like PC access to the the flash card is only required in "excetional" circumstances. My 2p, anyhow. |
