Hi folks-
I have a project that needs an embedded NTFS module. It will provide NTFS file read/write services to USB disk drives plugged into USB on my ARC600 based system. I need it completed in a few weeks so the DIY route is not possible. The only commercial source I could locate is NTFS Embedded from Tuxera.
Does anyone have any experience with Tuxera or their NTFS Embedded product?
Can anyone recommend any other worthy alternate sources or products??
Thanks ? John Speth
What OS are you using? Linux has good NTFS support as standard, if you can use that. But for more general use, or non-GPL implementations, I don't know of any other than Tuxera (and I've no experience with them - I've just heard the name). NTFS is very rare in embedded systems - it is /very/ resource-heavy compared to FAT32, and is seldom used on USB sticks or flash cards. The only reason I can think of using it is to get support for bigger than 4GB files.
Right or wrong, BSD software comes under a very unrestrictive license:
though that doesn't mean that the software can get adapted to some other use in a few weeks.

NFS and NTFS are _completely_ unrelated.

Yes... reading comprehension ...
Thanks for the discussion.
The OS is MQX. The needs is to allow use of USB based spinning hard drives.
