An environment for the rapid development of embedded file systems
Pages 694 - 699
Abstract
This paper describes an environment for the rapid development of embedded file systems. It has been designed to take into account embedded real-time systems concerns such as predictability and memory footprint. The environment described here uses an Abstract File System (AFS) to generate C source code for a Custom File System (CFS) intended for a specific application. Also a software tool was created to act as a front-end and to simplify the task of CFS creation. The main advantage of this environment is reduction in both cost and time needed to develop a product, which leads to a smaller time to market.

A New Type of Embedded File System Based on SPM
ICESS '07: Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on Embedded Software and SystemsCommonly, embedded file systems reside in main memory to manage the external memory such as flash memory in embedded systems. With the progress of hardware of embedded systems, the gap of speed between main memory and CPU is becoming larger and larger. ...
Efficient Directory Mutations in a Full-Path-Indexed File System
Special Issue on FAST 2018 and Regular PapersFull-path indexing can improve I/O efficiency for workloads that operate on data organized using traditional, hierarchical directories, because data is placed on persistent storage in scan order. Prior results indicate, however, that renames in a local ...

Depending on the data categorization, these directories ...
