I’ve found the FreeRTOS +FAT with optional support of long filenames (http://www.freertos.org/FreeRTOS-Plus/FreeRTOS_Plus_FAT/index.html) so that was my trigger to start evaluating it on my Nordic NRF52 eval kit.
I use Eclipse & GCC on a Windows 7 64-bit machine to evaulate the FreeRTOS version 9.0.0 FAT functionality. A Micro-SD card holder has been hand-soldered (including pull-up resistors) onto some GPIO pins that are configured for SPI use on the Nordic platform.
The RAM driver example worked so I used that to create an (micro-) SD card driver over SPI, also working fine now.
However, any file I create has uppercase characters when viewed in Windows explorer and I cannot seem to use filenames longer than 8 characters + 3 character extension.
I can live with uppercase filenames but really would like to use longer filenames than this. I found that increasing F_MAXNAME to 100 characters in fat_sl.h does not bring a solution.
So the main question is: How do I enable the ‘optional’ support for long filenames ?
