# FATFS partition generation example
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
This example demonstrates how to use the FATFS partition
generation tool [fatfsgen.py](../../../components/fatfs/fatfsgen.py) to automatically create a FATFS
filesystem image from the contents of a host folder during build, with an option of
automatically flashing the created image on invocation of `idf.py -p PORT flash`.
Beware that the minimal required size of the flash is 4 MB.
You can specify using menuconfig weather example will use read-only or read-write mode. The default option is read-write mode.
To change it just use menuconfig:
```shell
idf.py menuconfig
```
Then select `Example Configuration` a chose `Mode for generated FATFS image` either `Read-Write Mode` or `Read-Only Mode`.
`Read-Only` option indicates generating raw fatfs image without wear levelling support.
On the other hand, for `Read-Write` the generated fatfs image will support wear levelling thus can be mounted in read-write mode.
The following gives an overview of the example:
1. There is a directory `fatfs_image` from which the FATFS filesystem image will be created.
2. The function `fatfs_create_rawflash_image` is used to specify that a FATFS image
should be created during build for the `storage` partition.
For CMake, it is called from [the main component's CMakeLists.txt](./main/CMakeLists.txt).
`FLASH_IN_PROJECT` specifies that the created image
should be flashed on invocation of `idf.py -p PORT flash` together with app, bootloader, partition table, etc.
The image is created on the example's build directory with the output filename `storage.bin`.
3. Upon invocation of `idf.py -p PORT flash monitor`, application loads and
finds there is already a valid FATFS filesystem in the `storage` partition with files same as those in `fatfs_image` directory. The application is then
able to read those files.
## How to use example
### Build and flash
To run the example, type the following command:
```CMake
# CMake
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
```
(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
## Example output
Here is the example's console output:
```
...
I (322) example: Mounting FAT filesystem
I (332) example: Reading file
I (332) example: Read from file: 'this is test'
I (332) example: Unmounting FAT filesystem
I (342) example: Done
```
The logic of the example is contained in a [single source file](./main/fatfsgen_example_main.c),
and it should be relatively simple to match points in its execution with the log outputs above.
