Embedded NTFS - John Speth - 2012-07-27 15:06:00
Hi folks- I have a project that needs an embedded NTFS module. It will provide NTFS file read/write services to USB disk drives plugged into USB on my ARC600 based system. I need it completed in a few weeks so the DIY route is not possible. The only commercial source I could locate is NTFS Embedded from Tuxera. Does anyone have any experience with Tuxera or their NTFS Embedded product? Can anyone recommend any other worthy alternate sources or products?? Thanks â John Speth

Linux has good NTFS support as standard, if you can use that. But for more general use, or non-GPL implementations, I don't know of any other than Tuxera (and I've no experience with them - I've just heard the name). NTFS is very rare in embedded systems - it is /very/ resource-heavy compared to FAT32, and is seldom used on USB sticks or flash cards. The only reason I can think of using it is to get support for bigger than 4GB files.

Right or wrong, BSD software comes under a very unrestrictive license: <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nfs.html> though that doesn't mean that the software can get adapted to some other use in a few weeks.

Thanks for the discussion. The OS is MQX. The needs is to allow use of USB based spinning hard drives. JJS "David Brown" wrote in message news:u...@lyse.net...
