Using SmartFS on NuttX

After fixing many issues and thanks to help of Greg Nutt and Ken Petit (SmartFS author) finally I got SmartFS working on NuttX.

This is the NuttX initialization with FileSystem debug enabled:

smart_scan:    Erase size:          512

NuttShell (NSH)

Now let see the enabled commands:

nsh> ?
help usage:  help [-v] []

[           dd          hexdump     mkdir       ping        test

Builtin Apps:
flash_eraseall
pppd

nsh>

And the created devices:

nsh> ls /dev
/dev:
config
console
null
smart0p1
smart0p2
smart0p3
smart0p4
smart0p5
smart0p6
ttyS0
ttyS1
ttyS2
ttyS3
ttyS4
ttyS5
tun
nsh>

Time to format the smartfs partitions:

nsh> flash_eraseall /dev/smart0p1

Create the file system on it:

nsh> mksmartfs /dev/smart0p1
smart_scan: SMART Scan
smart_scan:    Erase size:          512
smart_scan:    Erase count:        5120
smart_scan:    Sect/block:            1
smart_scan:    MTD Blk/Sect:          1

nsh> mksmartfs /dev/smart0p2
smart_scan: SMART Scan
smart_scan:    Erase size:          512
smart_scan:    Erase count:        5120
smart_scan:    Sect/block:            1
smart_scan:    MTD Blk/Sect:          1

nsh> mksmartfs /dev/smart0p3
smart_scan: SMART Scan
smart_scan:    Erase size:          512
smart_scan:    Erase count:        2048
smart_scan:    Sect/block:            1
smart_scan:    MTD Blk/Sect:          1

nsh> mksmartfs /dev/smart0p4
smart_scan: SMART Scan
smart_scan:    Erase size:          512
smart_scan:    Erase count:        2048
smart_scan:    Sect/block:            1
smart_scan:    MTD Blk/Sect:          1

nsh> mksmartfs /dev/smart0p5
smart_scan: SMART Scan
smart_scan:    Erase size:          512
smart_scan:    Erase count:        1016
smart_scan:    Sect/block:            1
smart_scan:    MTD Blk/Sect:          1

nsh> mksmartfs /dev/smart0p6
smart_scan: SMART Scan
smart_scan:    Erase size:          512
smart_scan:    Erase count:        1016
smart_scan:    Sect/block:            1
smart_scan:    MTD Blk/Sect:          1
nsh>

Finally let to mount it:

nsh> mount -t smartfs /dev/smart0p1 /mnt/
smartfs_mount: SMARTFS:
smartfs_mount:      Sector size:     512
smartfs_mount:      Bytes/sector     507
smartfs_mount:      Num sectors:     5120
smartfs_mount:      Free sectors:    5113
smartfs_mount:      Max filename:    16
smartfs_mount:      RootDirSector:   3
nsh>

Your redemption is drawing near:

nsh> mkdir /mnt/teste

nsh> ls /mnt/
/mnt/:
 teste/

nsh> cd /mnt
nsh> ls -l
/mnt:
 drwxrwxrwx       0 teste/

nsh> df
  Block  Number
  Size   Blocks     Used Available Mounted on
   512     5120        8      5112 /mnt
nsh> 

Does anyone doubt that NuttX rocks?!?

CONFIG_MTD_PARTITION=y
CONFIG_MTD_SECT512=y
CONFIG_MTD_SECT512_ERASED_STATE=0xff
CONFIG_MTD_PARTITION_NAMES=y

And this gist with the SmartFS partition initialization:

  1. Hi Celem!
    Yes, SmartFS is a great contribution for NuttX, I think Ken did a great and huge work! I think it is proportional to JFFS2 for Linux (obviously comparing the scale of each system). My work was just to get it working on my board, everything were already in place and my help was just to rise some issues introduced recently that rendered it not working.
