[](https://travis-ci.org/gkostka/lwext4)
==About==
The main goal of the lwext4 project is to provide ext2/3/4 filesystem for microcontrollers. It may be an interesting alternative for traditional MCU filesystem libraries (mostly based on FAT32).
Lwext4 may be used with SD/MMC card, USB flash drive or other block based memory device. However it is not good for flash memory–based storage devices.
Code is also available on github:
https://github.com/gkostka/lwext4
Feel free to contact me:
kostka.grzegorz@gmail.com
==Credits==
The most of the source code of lwext4 was taken from HelenOS:
* http://helenos.org/
Some features are based on FreeBSD and Linux implementations.
KaHo Ng (https://github.com/ngkaho1234):
* advanced extents implementation
* xattr support
* metadata checksum suport
* many bugfixes & improvements
fuse-lwext4 project:
* https://github.com/ngkaho1234/fuse-lwext4
==Features==
* filetypes: regular, directories, softlinks
* support for hardlinks
* multiple blocksize supported: 1KB, 2KB, 4KB ... 64KB
* little/big endian architectures supported
* multiple configurations (ext2/ext3/ext4)
* only C standard library dependency
* various CPU architectures supported (x86/64, cortex-mX, msp430 ...)
* small memory footprint
;Memory footprint (for cortex-m4):
* .text: 20KB - 40KB
* .data: 8KB (minimum 8 x 1KB block cache)
* .stack: 2KB

==Project tree==
* blockdev - block devices set, supported blockdev
* demos - demo directory sources
* fs_test - test suite
* lwext4 - internals of the lwext4 library
* toolchain - specific toolchain cmake files
* CMakeLists.txt - CMake config file
* ext_images.7z - compressed ext2/3/4 100MB images
* fs_test.mk - automatic tests definitions
* Makefile - helper makefile to generate cmake and run test suite
* readme.mediawiki - readme file
==Compile==
Windows:
* CMake: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
* MinGw: http://www.mingw.org/
* GnuWin: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/
Linux:
* CMake, make, gcc
;Generate makefiles:
make
;Compile
cd build_generic
make
==Generic demo application==
Simple lwext4 library presentation:
* load ext2/3/4 images
* load linux block device with ext2/3/4 part
* load windows volume with ext2/3/4 filesystem
* directory speed test
* file write/read speed test
How to use for images/blockdevices:
cd build_generic
generic -i ext_images/ext2
generic -i ext_images/ext3
generic -i ext_images/ext4
==Build and run automatic tests==
Build and run automatic tests
Build automatic test tools:
make
cd build_generic
make
Uncompress ext/2/3/4 images:
make unpack_images
Run server for one of the image file:
make server_ext2
make server_ext3
make server_ext4
Execute tests:
make test
==Cross compile standalone library==
Toolchains needed:
* arm-none-eabi-gcc for cortex-mX
* avr-gcc for avr
* bfin-elf-gcc for bfin
* msp430-gcc for msp430
