Table of Contents



Why do we need this FS_Nano33BLE library

Important Notes

Avoid using FATFS because the somehow (issue with the core ???) it's OK to use only with 512KB. Please use the better LittleFS, where you can select the size anywhere from 64KB to 512KB.

Features

This library is just a simple LittleFS wrapper to facilitate your usage of LittleFS for the onboard flash on MBED nRF52840-based boards such as Nano_33_BLE, Nano_33_BLE_Sense, using Arduino-mbed mbed_nano core

The filesystem access uses normal POSIX APIs or mbed FileSystem APIs


Currently supported Boards

  1. MBED nRF52840-based boards such as Nano_33_BLE, Nano_33_BLE_Sense, etc. using Arduino-mbed mbed_nano core
  2. Seeeduino nRF52840-based boards such as SEEED_XIAO_NRF52840 and SEEED_XIAO_NRF52840_SENSE, etc. using Seeeduino mbed core


Prerequisites

  1. Arduino IDE 1.8.19+ for Arduino. GitHub release
  2. Arduino mbed_nano core 3.4.1+ for Arduino (Use Arduino Board Manager) MBED nRF52840-based boards such as Nano_33_BLE, Nano_33_BLE_Sense. GitHub release
  3. Seeeduino mbed core 2.7.2+ for Seeeduino nRF52840-based boards such as SEEED_XIAO_NRF52840 and SEEED_XIAO_NRF52840_SENSE


Installation

Use Arduino Library Manager

The best and easiest way is to use Arduino Library Manager. Search for FS_Nano33BLE, then select / install the latest version. You can also use this link arduino-library-badge for more detailed instructions.

Manual Install

Another way to install is to:

  1. Navigate to FS_Nano33BLE page.
  2. Download the latest release FS_Nano33BLE-main.zip.
  3. Extract the zip file to FS_Nano33BLE-main directory
  4. Copy whole FS_Nano33BLE-main folder to Arduino libraries' directory such as ~/Arduino/libraries/.

VS Code & PlatformIO

  1. Install VS Code
  2. Install PlatformIO
  3. Install FS_Nano33BLE library by using Library Manager. Search for FS_Nano33BLE in Platform.io Author's Libraries
  4. Use included platformio.ini file from examples to ensure that all dependent libraries will installed automatically. Please visit documentation for the other options and examples at Project Configuration File


Examples

  1. FS_Counting
  2. FS_Test

Debug

Debug is enabled by default on Serial.

You can also change the debugging level (FS_LOGLEVEL) from 0 to 4

#define FS_DEBUG_OUTPUT    Serial

// These define's must be placed at the beginning before #include "FS_Nano33BLE.h"
// _FS_LOGLEVEL_ from 0 to 4
#define _FS_LOGLEVEL_      0

Troubleshooting

If you get compilation errors, more often than not, you may need to install a newer version of the core for Arduino boards.

Sometimes, the library will only work if you update the board core to the latest version because I am using newly added functions.



Issues

Submit issues to: FS_Nano33BLE issues


TO DO

  1. Search for bug and improvement.

DONE

  1. Basic LittleFS wrapper for MBED nRF52840-based boards such as Nano_33_BLE, Nano_33_BLE_Sense, using Arduino-mbed mbed_nano core
  2. Add Version String
  3. Add Table of Contents
  4. Fix multiple-definitions linker error
  5. Use correct NANO33BLE_FS_START address for LittleFS without wasting flash space. Check Half size of flash #2
  6. Add support to Seeeduino nRF52840-based boards such as SEEED_XIAO_NRF52840 and SEEED_XIAO_NRF52840_SENSE, etc. using Seeeduino mbed core
  7. Add astyle using allman style. Restyle the library
  8. Display compile warning only when _FS_LOGLEVEL_ > 3


Contributions and Thanks

Many thanks for everyone for bug reporting, new feature suggesting, testing and contributing to the development of this library.

  1. Thanks to Rob Probin to report issue Half size of flash #2 leading to v1.2.0
