* 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
Co-authored-by: Develo <deveyes@gmail.com>
* define two weak functions defaulting to no-op
redefine them to do something useful when either spiffs or littlefs are used
* noop
* single entry point for closing FSes
* rename functions, override when instanciated, add link to explanation
* spiffs: call end on destructor
In order to give user libs a change to update to the new symbols, re-add
the _SPIFFS_XX symbols to the linker file with a comment that they are
deprecated.
Also add back spiffs_hal_xxx functions, also marked as deprecated.
Fixes#6542
* 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.

* Fix SW Serial library version
* Fix free space reporting

* update readme
SPIFFS is actually a flat file system, so opendir/readdir always iterate over all files. This adds explicit check that file name returned after readdir starts with the requested pattern.
- rename mount to begin to be more in line with other libraries
- add rename and remove methods
- remove freestanding functions (mount,open,openDir) from public API until that part is ready
- fix resource leak in SPIFFSDirImpl
