  • UM1721 User Manual Developing Applications on Stm32cube™ with Fatfs
    UM1721 User manual Developing applications on STM32Cube™ with FatFs Introduction The STM32Cube™ is an STMicroelectronics original initiative to make developers’ lives easier by reducing development effort, time and cost. STM32Cube™ covers the whole STM32 portfolio. STM32Cube™ includes: • STM32CubeMX, a graphical software configuration tool that allows the generation of C initialization code using graphical wizards. • A comprehensive embedded software platform, delivered per Series (such as STM32CubeF4 for STM32F4 Series) – The STM32Cube™ HAL, STM32 abstraction layer embedded software ensuring maximized portability across the STM32 portfolio, – A consistent set of middleware components such as RTOS, USB, TCP/IP, Graphics, – All embedded software utilities, delivered with a full set of examples. A file system is the way in which files ares named and where they are placed logically for storage and retrieval. Its primary objective is to manage access to the data of files, and to manage the available space of the device(s) which contain it. Using a file system allows user to ensure reliability and to organize data in an efficient manner. This user manual is intended for developers who use STM32Cube™ MCU Package on STM32 microcontrollers. It provides a full description of how to use the STM32Cube™ firmware components with a generic FAT file system (FatFs); this user manual comes also with description of a set of examples based on common FatFs provided APIs. Please refer to the release notes of the STM32Cube™ MCU Package to know the version of FatFs firmware component used. This document is applicable to all STM32 devices; however for simplicity reason, the STM32F4xx devices and STM32CubeF4 are used as reference platform.

  • COMPUTER VIRUSES: the Technology and Evolution of an Artificial Life Form
    COMPUTER VIRUSES: The Technology and Evolution of an Artificial Life Form Written by: Karsten Johansson, 1994 NOTE: This document was written before the advent of Internet worms and trojans. It probably contains more information about the pre-commercial internet virus scene than any other singular source, and thus I have opted to make it available to the Internet as a historical reference. There are a couple of unfinished sections, but maybe if there is enough interest, I may be convinced to finish this and update it to reflect the current state of the malware industry, and update the Artificial Life stuff since so much has happened there since 1994.

Much of the information available is either of a highly theoretical nature, or describes a specific set of viruses. Neither is useful for providing an overview of how computer viruses work or how to protect against them. This report is a condensed explanation of viruses-their history, structure, and some information on how to deal with their threat. It should provide a general introduction to the topic without requiring the understanding of excessive detail. The interested reader is directed to the book from which this report is derived for further infor­ mation, including references to related works and sources, more technical detail, and information on some of the legal aspects ofcomputer viruses: Computer Viruses: Dealing with Electronic Vandalism and Programmed Threats, E.

    file allocation table - 16bit [email protected] | updates closed forewords this article is about fat16 with additional comments regarding windows 98. certain things will appear/handle differently in other oses. special thanks go to jon fox who helped me out on calculating the volume serial number, the lfn checksum and making some worthy comments while in draft form, i really appreaciate it. overview master boot record sectors 1 - 62 boot record fat 1 fat 2 root directory sub directory data 1 block = 512 bytes this is a scale diagram of the start of the disk with a small fat16 partition at the beginning. this partition is just over 20mb in size, to save space not all the data/subdir/surplus area is shown - there would be 44,815 blocks or ~=896 lines if this part was shown completely. master boot record diagram -> executable code -> ending head -> boot indicator -> ending sector & -> starting head cylinder -> starting sector & -> the starting cylinder sector -> partiton type -> no. of sectors in partition -> executable signature 1 partition entry is as follows: and reads as: mbr in general ( =512 bytes ) the master boot record (mbr) is located in the first data sector on the hard disk. the mbr can have upto 4 primary partitions, each entry occupies 16 bytes. if the slot is unused, the space is filled with 00. each entry sets out the addressing parameters for the partition. hard disks have grown considerably in size since they were first invented, this has caused some strange addressing techniques to be used to ensure compatibility. hard drives used to be addressed by cylinder, head and sector (chs).

  • File Allocation Table
    File Allocation Table File Allocation Table (FAT) is a computer file system architecture and a FAT family of industry-standard file systems utilizing it. The FAT file system is a continuing standard which borrows source code from the original, legacy file Developer(s) Microsoft, NCR, system and proves to be simple and robust.[3] It offers useful performance SCP, IBM, Compaq, even in lightweight implementations, but cannot deliver the same Digital Research, performance, reliability and scalability as some modern file systems. It is, Novell, Caldera however, supported for compatibility reasons by nearly all currently developed Full name File Allocation Table operating systems for personal computers and many mobile devices and Variants 8-bit FAT, FAT12, embedded systems, and thus is a well-suited format for data exchange FAT16, FAT16B, between computers and devices of almost any type and age from 1981 up to FAT32, ExFAT, the present. FATX, FAT+ Originally designed in 1977 for use on floppy disks, FAT was soon adapted and Introduced 1977 with used almost universally on hard disks throughout the DOS and Windows 9x Standalone Disk eras for two decades.[4] As disk drives evolved, the capabilities of the file BASIC-80 system have been extended accordingly, resulting in three major file system Partition MBR/EBR: variants: FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32. The FAT standard has also been expanded identifier FAT12: 0x01 e.a. in other ways while generally preserving backward compatibility with existing (Extended Attribute) software.
