About lwext4
============
The main goal of the lwext4 project is to provide ext2/3/4 filesystem
library for microcontrolers with SD/MMC card support. Ext2/3/4, in my
opinion is one of the best filesystem for SD/MMC.
kostka.grzegorz@gmail.com
Minimum memory requirements
===========================
.text ~ 15KB
.data + .bss ~ 8KB
.stack ~ 1KB-2KB (not tested yet)
ext2/3/4 vs FAT32
=================
ext2/3/4 > FAT32
- fseek operation on big file in FAT32 is IO heavy
- ext2/3/4 HTREE directories operations are faster than FAT32
- ext4 extents makes truncate/remove opertion really fast
- more at https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Disk_Layout
ext2/3/4 < FAT32
- FAT32 has smaller footprint
Credits lwext4
==============
A lot of the implementation of lwext4 was taken from HelenOS:
- http://www.helenos.org/
Some of ideas and features are based on FreeBSD and Linux implementations.

lwext4 project tree
===================
+blockdev - block devices set, supported blockdevs
- filedev - file based block device
- io_raw - wiodows IO block device
+demos - demo directory sources
- generic - generic demo app, used for development and and debbuging purpose
+lwext4 - internals of the lwext4 library
+toolchain - specific toolchain cmake files
+ext4.h - lwext4 client library header
CMakeLists.txt - CMake config file
ext_images.7z - ext2/3/4 100MB images
Makefile - helper makefile to call cmake
readme.txt - yes, you are here ;)
lwext4 compile Windows
======================
Tools needed:
- CMake: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
- MinGw: http://www.mingw.org/
- GnuWin: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/
Build:
>>make
Clean:
>>clean
Successful build generates out of source build directory:
+build_generic
lwext4 compile Linux
====================
Tools needed:
- CMake: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
Build:
>>make
Clean:
>>clean
Successful build generates out of source build directory:
+build_generic
lwext4 generic demo app
=======================
Features:
- 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:
Windows/Linux fileimages:
> cd build_generic
> fileimage_demo --in ext2
Windows volumes:
> cd build_generic
> fileimage_demo --in I: --wpart
Linux block devices:
> cd build_generic
> fileimage_demo --in /dev/your_block_device
Usage:
--i - input file (default = ext2)
--rws - single R/W size (default = 1024 * 1024)
--rwc - R/W count (default = 10)
--cache - 0 static, 1 dynamic (default = 1)
--dirs - directory test count (default = 0)
--clean - clean up after test
--bstat - block device stats
--sbstat - superblock stats
--wpart - windows partition mode
