Unified API

Some developers use SafeFLASH and FAT in the same application. SafeFLASH is used for failsafe access to NOR and NAND flash, and FAT is used for access to PC-compatible devices. For users of SafeFLASH and FAT in a single application, we provide a unified API.

 

The unified API allows both file systems to be accessed through a single interface, seamlessly providing all the advantages of the failsafe system and the PC-compatible system. The two systems work entirely independently and a wrapper layer is provided to manage all file system calls. This ensures that neither system's performance is influenced by the alternate system.

 

The unified API, called CAPI, is provided free of charge to users of both FAT and SafeFLASH in a single application.
