Published purpose

The project involves investigating the feasibility of implementing reading and writing features that conform to a new file system standard from Microsoft, called exFAT, short for 'extended FAT'. Embedded Access has previously developed the reading capabilities of the exFAT file system and this is currently being utilized in automobile radios to enable the playback of music files that are stored on a user's USB memory stick. Most applications however require the ability to not just read files, but to also write to files, create new files, delete files, create directories, and to delete directories. The reading and writing is much more complicated than simply reading, and it may not be possible in an embedded environment.
