#150992 - Yes, of course - but in assembler?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Christoph Franck said:
you merely need to follow the procedures defined in the file systems specification, and there's not that much difference between doing it on a 16 bit uC or an 8 bit (or 32 bit) uC.

In fact, no difference at all!

The file system is entirely unaware of what type of system it is connected to - it works the way it works, irrespective of what you use to drive it!

So long as your system abides by the specifications, it will work.

But the next question is: is this really a suitable application for assembler?

You are likely to find that file systems make extensive use of 16-bit and larger data types - which will make a lot more work to code in assembler on an 8-bit controller...
