TinyFS

Build

TinyFS contains Go implementations of embedded filesystems. The packages in this module require CGo support and are TinyGo compatible.

Supported hardware

You can use TinyFS with the following embedded hardware configurations:

Onboard Flash memory

You can use TinyFS on processors that have onboard Flash memory in the area above where the compiled TinyGo program is running.

External Flash memory

You can use TinyFS on an external Flash memory chip connected via SPI/QSPI hardware interface.

See https://github.com/tinygo-org/drivers/tree/release/flash

SD card connected via SPI/QPI

You can use TinyFS on an SD card connected via SPI/QSPI hardware interface.

See https://github.com/tinygo-org/drivers/tree/release/sdcard

LittleFS

The LittleFS file system is specifically designed for embedded applications.

See https://github.com/littlefs-project/littlefs for more information.

Example

This example runs on the RP2040 using the on-board flash in the available memory above where the program code itself is running:

$ tinygo flash -target pico -monitor ./examples/console/littlefs/machine/
Connected to /dev/ttyACM0. Press Ctrl-C to exit.
SPI Configured. Reading flash info
==> lsblk

FAT FS

The FAT file system is not currently working, due to tinygo-org/tinygo#3460.
