Re: FAT32 over NAND
Hmmm. I am not familiar with 'mass storage driver'. I assume that it is
a generic Windows thingy for block devices -- I know nothing about
Windows? Or do you mean USB? If you do not mean USB, how is Windows
going to access the device? Through some network? a bus? some other means?
If it goes through USB, I guess you need the uC to intermediate between
USB and the Flash chips. In that case, there are possibilities besides
FAT32.

Hi,
This will be raw NAND flash.
There are two ways we want to access file system written on NAND flash:
1 Through PC
PC will make use of the file system using mass storage driver.
2 Through device itself
Device (uC) should be able to access read/write files from NAND flash.
Hope I have given the answers you are looking at. If not please free to ask.

Sorry to prod, but to answer you appropriately it would be helpful if
you answer the question below:

Is this a NAND memory smart-card (MMC, SD, USB flash drive or whatever)?
These usually come with an FTL on-board, which offers a file system like
FAT32. You need no Flash code for that.
Is this a raw flash? So, how is it going to be accessed from Windows if
the file system is completely in software?
Can you please explain the type of NAND flash you want to use? Is this
raw flash chips? Or is this a NAND memory 'card' of some type like
listed above?
