Xilinx Xilfatfs SystemACE library and partition format

Aug 10, 2007 1 Replies

Hi,



I have been struggling on a Virtex II Pro in order to make the XilFatFS work properly. What I want to do is use the Compact Flash to boot the board which I did successfully by formating the CF with mkdos and also gparted using the FAT 16 format.



Now I also want to use the functions fOpen, chdir, mkdir and readdir from the sysace library and I tried on a FAT 32 as the primary partition and it doesn't seem to work as the error led is still blinking but if I use the FAT 16 with or without the system.ace, it stops blinking and when I call twice mkdir it creates the dir but afterwards, doesn't seem to do much.



Also, I could not make the readdir function work so if anyone had experiences with these, I would really appreciate it. Thank you,



Antoine.
