Anyone ever come across a port of ChaN's FatFs for an 8051?

How about this one: http://www.8052.com/forum/read/148099

Is that a sensible thing to want?

That depends on why you want it!

It is, of course, possible to just use the medium "raw" without any file system - which should make your embedded implementation simpler.

However, having a standard filesystem like FAT can certainly make your overall development a lot easier - because you can then read & write the files on any PC without any special software.

...and specifically for the ever-helpful Andy Neil

Flattery, eh?!

Andy, I've read a message at 8052.com that said something about your having used ChaN's FatFs with "nearly no effort at all".

Yes, I hink I did write that - but I can't get the 'Search' on this site to find it again!

:-(

Do you mind me please asking you whether that was on an 8051?

No, it wasn't - it was an ARM (Cortex-M3, and also this.)

how would you rate the difficulty of porting this

I barely had to touch the actual filesystem stuff at all - it was just a matter of providing the low-level SPI driver for the SD-Card.
