The `lv_fs_drv_t` needs to be static, global or dynamically allocated and not a local variable. +```c +static lv_fs_drv_t drv; /*Needs to be static or global*/ +lv_fs_drv_init(&drv); /*Basic initialization*/ + +drv.letter = 'S'; /*An uppercase letter to identify the drive */ +drv.cache_size = my_cache_size; /*Cache size for reading in bytes. 0 to not cache.*/ + +drv.ready_cb = my_ready_cb; /*Callback to tell if the drive is ready to use */ +drv.open_cb = my_open_cb; /*Callback to open a file */ +drv.close_cb = my_close_cb; /*Callback to close a file */ +drv.read_cb = my_read_cb; /*Callback to read a file */ +drv.write_cb = my_write_cb; /*Callback to write a file */ +drv.seek_cb = my_seek_cb; /*Callback to seek in a file (Move cursor) */ +drv.tell_cb = my_tell_cb; /*Callback to tell the cursor position */ + +drv.dir_open_cb = my_dir_open_cb; /*Callback to open directory to read its content */ +drv.dir_read_cb = my_dir_read_cb; /*Callback to read a directory's content */ +drv.dir_close_cb = my_dir_close_cb; /*Callback to close a directory */ + +drv.user_data = my_user_data; /*Any custom data if required*/ + +lv_fs_drv_register(&drv); /*Finally register the drive*/ + +``` + +Any of the callbacks can be `NULL` to indicate that operation is not supported. + + +### Implementing the callbacks + +#### Open callback +The prototype of `open_cb` looks like this: +```c +void * (*open_cb)(lv_fs_drv_t * drv, const char * path, lv_fs_mode_t mode); +``` + +`path` is the path after the drive letter (e.g. "S:path/to/file.txt" -> "path/to/file.txt"). `mode` can be `LV_FS_MODE_WR` or `LV_FS_MODE_RD` to open for writes or reads. + +The return value is a pointer to a *file object* that describes the opened file or `NULL` if there were any issues (e.g. the file wasn't found). +The returned file object will be passed to other file system related callbacks. (see below) + +### Other callbacks +The other callbacks are quite similar. For example `write_cb` looks like this: +```c +lv_fs_res_t (*write_cb)(lv_fs_drv_t * drv, void * file_p, const void * buf, uint32_t btw, uint32_t * bw); +``` + +For `file_p`, LVGL passes the return value of `open_cb`, `buf` is the data to write, `btw` is the Bytes To Write, `bw` is the actually written bytes. + +For a template of these callbacks see [lv_fs_template.c](https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/blob/master/examples/porting/lv_port_fs_template.c). + + +## Usage example + +The example below shows how to read from a file: +```c +lv_fs_file_t f; +lv_fs_res_t res; +res = lv_fs_open(&f, "S:folder/file.txt", LV_FS_MODE_RD); +if(res != LV_FS_RES_OK) my_error_handling(); + +uint32_t read_num; +uint8_t buf[8]; +res = lv_fs_read(&f, buf, 8, &read_num); +if(res != LV_FS_RES_OK || read_num != 8) my_error_handling(); + +lv_fs_close(&f); +``` +*The mode in `lv_fs_open` can be `LV_FS_MODE_WR` to open for writes only or `LV_FS_MODE_RD | LV_FS_MODE_WR` for both* + +This example shows how to read a directory's content. It's up to the driver how to mark directories in the result but it can be a good practice to insert a `'/'` in front of each directory name. +```c +lv_fs_dir_t dir; +lv_fs_res_t res; +res = lv_fs_dir_open(&dir, "S:/folder"); +if(res != LV_FS_RES_OK) my_error_handling(); + +char fn[256]; +while(1) { + res = lv_fs_dir_read(&dir, fn); + if(res != LV_FS_RES_OK) { + my_error_handling(); + break; + } + + /*fn is empty, if not more files to read*/ + if(strlen(fn) == 0) { + break; + } + + printf("%s\n", fn); +} + +lv_fs_dir_close(&dir); +``` + +## Use drives for images + +[Image](/widgets/core/img) objects can be opened from files too (besides variables stored in the compiled program). + +To use files in image widgets the following callbacks are required: +- open +- close +- read +- seek +- tell + + + +## API + +```eval_rst + +.. doxygenfile:: lv_fs.h + :project: lvgl + +``` |
