uALFAT
uALFAT, pronounced micro ALFAT, is is a full FAT32 file system stack that is embedded in a powerful 32-bit processor. ALFAT saves files and directories on medias in the standard FAT32 file system format so that the media can be accessed from any other devices that supports FAT32 file system, example a PC, most digital cameras and MP3 players. Simply, send your data to the uALFAT chip using a serial port, SPI or I2C and ALFAT will save your files on MMC or SD.
Key Features
- FAT32 support.
- Runs with simple robust protocol on UART, SPI or I2C.
- 256-byte FIFO for UART, SPI and I2C.
- UART runs as high as 921.6 K-baud, SPI clock is up to 7Mhz and I2C clock up to 400Khz.
- Fast file Write, up to 200 KB/S, average is 35 KB/S. (KB = 1024 Bytes).
- Fast file read, up to 700 KB/S.
- Can be easily used with any microcontroller including PIC, AVR.
- Supports Multi Media Card (MMC) and Secure Digital (SD) memory cards.

USBwiz
Thanks to USBwiz ("the USB Wizard"), you can now easily add an USB keyboard, mouse, joystick or even printer to your system. USBwiz also includes a FAT file system so that you can run USB thumb drives and external USB (FAT formatted) hard drives. No USB knowledge is necessary, it is as simple as Plug and Play! Using simple commands via the UART, SPI or I2C interface, you can read/write files from your thumb drive or SD/MMC card. Accessing USB Human Interface Devices (HID) and USB printers is also just as simple.
