PX5 Brings Advanced Storage Solutions to Embedded Systems
May 21 2024 - 9:24AM
SAN DIEGO, CA—May 21, 2024—PX5, a global leader in
high-performance real-time operating systems and middleware, today
announced the addition of the PX5 FILE FAT-compatible embedded file
system. Developers can leverage PX5 FILE for real-time storage
across any physical medium, e.g., RAM, FLASH, and SD cards. PX5
FILE supports the industry-standard FAT (File Allocation Table)
file system format, enabling application data to be readily shared
between other platforms—from other embedded devices to desktop
computers.
Key attributes of PX5 FILE:
- Supports FAT
12/16/32 formats
- Achieves high
performance via multiple internal caches, including logical sector
cache, FAT entry cache, and directory path cache. Developers
control the size of each cache.
- Provides fault
tolerance, preventing file system corruption due to loss of power
or other abnormal program execution
PX5 FILE is also designed for safety and security, leveraging
the PX5 RTOS Pointer/Data Verification (PDV) technology to verify
function pointers and various internal file system data structures
during runtime. It has the same rigorous testing and verification
as the PX5 RTOS—100% statement and branch-decision coverage testing
for every release.
Easy-to-Use, Industry-Standard APIs
The PX5 FILE developer interface uses the industry-standard
Linux file system API, including the familiar open, close, read,
and write APIs—no need to learn proprietary APIs. In addition,
application code written for PX5 FILE is easily reused on embedded
Linux platforms.
“Developers need a reliable, easy-to-use advanced storage
solution designed for safety and security,” said William Lamie, CEO
of PX5. “PX5 FILE provides unparalleled reliability,
interoperability, and high performance for resource-constrained,
real-time embedded systems.
