* Deprecate SPIFFS, move examples to LittleFS
SPIFFS has been a great filesystem, but it has significant problems in
many cases (and it's also pretty slow). Development seems to have
slowed/stopped on the upstream version, and we're not able to provide
support or fix the known issues with it as-is.
Deprecate SPIFFS variable.
Update all examples to use LittleFS instead of SPIFFS.
Also, minor cleanup on very old examples which has obsolete delays
waiting for the Serial port to come up, or which were stuck at 9600 baud
because of their ancient AVR heritage.
Fixes#7095
* Remove leftover debug code
* Clean up comments in some examples
* Update documentation on SPIFFS deprecation
* Fix host tests to avoid deprecation warnings
* Fix cut-n-paste error
* Restore SpeedTest.ino, adjust to allow custom FSes

* Add fileCreation/getCreation create-time accessors
For SDFS and LittleFS, enable a creation time accessor for files and Dir
iterators, similar to the existing fileTime/getLastWrite calls.
Remove spurious Dir::getLastWrite method (the proper and only documented
way is really Dir::fileTime).
Update json to point to new mklittlefs which copies the creation date of
files to the image.
Fixes#6992
* Remove malloc(), use stack vars for temp names
LFS filenames are limited in size and generally very small. Use a stack
variable instead of a dynamic allocation when performing full-path
computations.
* Replace "Creation" w/"CreationTime" in FS accessor
Per review, `getCreation` -> `getCreationTime`, `fileCreation` ->
`fileCreationTime`.
The names `fileTime()` and `getLastWrite()` are inherited from ESP32
implementation and unchanged.
* Add creation time to listfiles SD example
* Enable SdFat's sateTime callback for timestamping
SdFat requries the dateTimeCallback call (global for everything) to
update dates and times on created files.
Because the callback signature doesn't have space for us to provide
any parameters, we cannot get the the File, Dir, or FS object's
dateTimeCB member. Instead, just go with `time(null)` as the callback
function which is right in all but the most esoteric cases.
* Correct DOS year/month offset in dateTime callback
* Fix docs to match new xxxCreationTime() API names

* Add time to filesystem API
Support the ESP32 File::getLastWrite() call and setting the time on
all filesystems automatically (assuming the system clock has
been set properly and time(NULL) returns the proper time!).
Adds Dir::fileTime() to get the time of a file being listed, similar to
Dir::fileName() and Dir::fileSize().
Adds ::setTimeCallback(time_t (*cb)()) to File, Dir, and FS, allowing
users to override the default timestamp on a per-file, directory, or
filesystem basis. By default, a simple callback returning time(nullptr)
is implemented.
LittleFS uses the 't' attribute and should be backwards compatible.
SD/SDFS work and include wrappers for obsolete SdFat timestamp callbacks
using the MSDOS time.
This PR does not update SPIFFS, due to compatability concerns and a
possible massive rewrite which would make it possible to determine if an
old-style ot metadata enabled FS is present at mount time.
Includes an updated SD/listfiles and LittleFS_time example.
Replaces #6315
* Add links to new mklittlefs w/timestamp support
Include the update mklittlefs which generated 't' metadata on imported
files.
../tools/sdk/lwip2/include/netif/lowpan6_opts.h
* Add explicit note about timestamp being local time
* Address review concerns
Clean up some awkward object instantiations.
Remove the _enableTime flag/setter from SPIFFS.
Clean up the FSConfig constructors using C++ style init lists.
* Add LittleFS as internal flash filesystem
Adds a LittleFS object which uses the ARMmbed littlefs embedded filesystem,
https://github.com/ARMmbed/littlefs, to enable a new filesystem for onboard
flash utilizing the exact same API as the existing SPIFFS filesystem.
LittleFS is built for low memory systems that are subject to random power
losses, is actively supported by the ARMmbed community, supports directories,
and seems to be much faster in the large-ish read-mostly applications I use.
LittleFS, however, has a larger minimum file allocation unit and does not do
static wear levelling. This means that for systems that need many little
files (<4K), have small SPIFFS areas (64K), or which have a large static
set of files covering the majority of flash coupled with a frequently
updated set of other files, it may not perform as well.
Simply replace SPIFFS.begin() with LittleFS.begin() in your sketch,
use LittleFS.open in place of SPIFFS.open to open files, and everything
else just works thanks to the magic of @igrr's File base class.
**LITTLEFS FLASH LAYOUT IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH SPIFFS**
Since it is a completely different filesystem, you will need to reformat
your flash (and lose any data therein) to use it. Tools to build the
flash filesystem and upload are at
https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-esp8266littlefs-plugin and
https://github.com/earlephilhower/mklittlefs/ . The mklittlefs tool
is installed as part of the Arduino platform installation, automatically.
The included example shows a contrived read-mostly example and
demonstrates how the same calls work on either SPIFFS.* or LittleFS.*
Host tests are also included as part of CI.
Directories are fully supported in LittleFS. This means that LittleFS
will have a slight difference vs. SPIFFS when you use
LittleFS.openDir()/Dir.next(). On SPIFFS dir.next()
will return all filesystem entries, including ones in "subdirs"
(because in SPIFFS there are no subdirs and "/" is the same as any
other character in a filename).
On LittleFS, dir.next() will only return entries in the directory
specified, not subdirs. So to list files in "/subdir/..." you need
to actually openDir("/subdir") and use Dir.next() to parse through
just those elements. The returned filenames also only have the
filename returned, not full paths. So on a FS with "/a/1", "/a/2"
when you do openDir("/a"); dir.next().getName(); you get "1" and "2"
and not "/a/1" and "/a/2" like in SPIFFS. This is consistent with
POSIX ideas about reading directories and more natural for a FS.
Most code will not be affected by this, but if you depend on
openDir/Dir.next() you need to be aware of it.
Corresponding ::mkdir, ::rmdir, ::isDirectory, ::isFile,
::openNextFile, and ::rewind methods added to Filesystem objects.
Documentation has been updated with this and other LittleFS information.
Subdirectories are made silently when they do not exist when you
try and create a file in a subdir. They are silently removed when
the last file in them is deleted. This is consistent with what
SPIFFS does but is obviously not normal POSIX behavior. Since there
has never been a "FS.mkdir()" method this is the only way to be
compatible with legacy SPIFFS code.
SPIFFS code has been refactored to pull out common flash_hal_* ops
and placed in its own namespace, like LittleFS.
* Fix up merge blank line issue
* Merge in the FSConfig changs from SDFS PR
Enable setConfig for LittleFS as well plys merge the SPIFFS changes
done in the SDFS PR.
* Fix merge errors
* Update to use v2-alpha branch
The V2-alpha branch supports small file optimizations which can help
increase the utilization of flash when small files are prevalent.
It also adds support for metadata, which means we can start adding
things like file creation times, if desired (not yet).
* V2 of littlefs is now in upstream/master
* Update test to support non-creation-ordered files
In a directory, the order in which "readNextFile()" will return a name
is undefined. SPIFFS may return it in order, but LittleFS does not as
of V2. Update the test to look for files by name when doing
readNextFile() testing.
* Fix LittleFS.truncate implementation
* Fix SDFS tests
SDFS, SPIFFS, and LittleFS now all share the same common set of tests,
greatly increasing the SDFS test coverage.
* Update to point to mklittlefs v2
Upgrade mklittlefs to V2 format support
* Remove extra FS::write(const char *s) method
This was removed in #5861 and erroneously re-introduced here.
* Minimize spurious differences from master
* Dramatically reduce memory usage
Reduce the program and read chunk sizes which impacts performance
minimally but reduces per-file RAM usage of 16KB to <1KB.
* Add @d-a-v's host emulation for LittleFS
* Fix SW Serial library version
* Fix free space reporting
Thanks to @TD-er for discovering the issue
* Update littlefs to latest upstream
* Remove sdfat version included by accident
* Update SDFAT to include MOCK changes required
* Update to include SD.h test of file append
