# LITTLEFS
# LittleFS_esp32
## LittleFS library for arduino-esp32
#### Warning: Tested only with git arduino-esp32 #b92c58d core, which is for ESP-IDF 3.3! </br> With other versions/releases of the core including release 1.0.4, especially against different IDF this will NOT not work.
- A LittleFS wrapper for Arduino ESP32 of [Mbed LittleFS](https://github.com/ARMmbed/littlefs)
- A LittleFS wrapper for Arduino ESP32 of [ARMmbed LittleFS](https://github.com/ARMmbed/littlefs)
- Based on [ESP-IDF port of joltwallet/esp_littlefs](https://github.com/joltwallet/esp_littlefs) , thank you Brian!
- Functionality is the same and SPIFFS partition scheme and data folder meaning are kept
- You can use either LITTLEFS or SPIFFS but not both simultaneously on given Arduino project
- A PR to embed it to esp32 core is made too. See the [PR status here](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/pull/4096)
- As a reference, see [LillteFS library for ESP8266 core](https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/LittleFS)
- [PR at esp32 core development](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/pull/4096)
- [PR at esp-idf development](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/pull/5469)
- The functionality is similar to SPIFFS
### Installation
- Copy <b>LITTLEFS</b> folder to Arduino IDE embedded libraries place
- For Win, the default place of arduino-esp32 core libraries is somewhere like:
```C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\hardware\esp32\1.0.4\libraries ```
- Alternatively, you can put it to your usual libraries place
- Use **Arduino Library Manager**
- Or download / use **git** to have latest repository of **LITTLEFS** added to Arduino IDE **/libraries** folder
(File > Preferences > Sketchbook location).
- See ``` #define CONFIG_LITTLEFS_FOR_IDF_3_2 ``` in **esp_littlefs.c**.
When defined, code builds with any IDF 3.2 - 4.x.
On IDF newer than 3.2, it **can** be commented to enable file timestamp feature.
See LITTLEFS_time example.
- The other ``` #define CONFIG_LITTLEFS_xxxxx ``` are set to optimal default values.
Read [here](https://github.com/joltwallet/esp_littlefs/blob/master/Kconfig) and [here](https://github.com/ARMmbed/littlefs/blob/master/README.md) if you want to modify.
### Usage
- In your existing code, replace SPIFFS like this
- Use LITTLEFS same way as SPIFFS
- A quick startup based on your existing code you can re-define SPIFFS
```
#define USE_LittleFS

#include <SPIFFS.h>
#endif
```
### Differences with SPIFFS (and in this implementation)
- Note, this may not work if your sketch uses other libraries that use SPIFFS themselves.
- LittleFS has folders, you my need to tweak your code to iterate files in folders
- Root: /someting = something, so attention to /
- Lower level littlefs library cannot mount on NULL as partition_label name, while SPIFFS can
- Lower level littlefs library does not need maxOpenFiles parameter
- Speed (LITTLEFS_Test.ino) 1048576 bytes written in 16238 ms / 1048576 bytes read in 918 ms
- Speed (SPIFFS_Test.ino) 1048576 bytes written in 65971 ms / 1048576 bytes read in 680 ms
### Differences with SPIFFS
- LittleFS has folders, you need to iterate files in folders. See **To Do** below.
- At root a "/folder" = "folder"
- Requires a label for mount point, NULL will not work
- maxOpenFiles parameter is unused, kept for compatibility
- LITTLEFS.mkdir(path) and LITTLEFS.rmdir(path) work as expected for folders
- Speed comparison based on **LittleFS_test.ino** sketch (for a file 1048576 bytes):
|Filesystem|Read time [ms]|Write time [ms]|
|----|----|----|
|FAT|276|14493|
|LITTLEFS|446*|16387|
|SPIFFS|767|65622|
*The read speed improved by changing ```#define CONFIG_LITTLEFS_CACHE_SIZE``` from 128 to 512
### Arduino ESP32 LittleFS filesystem upload tool
- Download the tool archive from [here](https://github.com/lorol/arduino-esp32littlefs-plugin/raw/master/src/bin/esp32littlefs.jar)
- In your Arduino sketchbook directory, create tools directory if it doesn't exist yet.
- Unpack the tool into tools directory (the path will look like ```<home_dir>/Arduino/tools/ESP32LittleFS/tool/esp32littlefs.jar```).
- You need the [mklittlefs tool](https://github.com/earlephilhower/mklittlefs) Download the [release](https://github.com/earlephilhower/mklittlefs/releases) and copy it to
packages\esp32\tools\mkspiffs\<mklittlefs rev. x.x.x>\ or on checkout (dev) environment to: packages\esp32\hardware\esp32\<release>\tools\mklittlefs\
- Use (replace if exists) [arduino-esp32fs-plugin](https://github.com/me-no-dev/arduino-esp32fs-plugin/pull/23 ) with [this variant](https://github.com/lorol/arduino-esp32fs-plugin), which supports SPIFFS, LittleFS and FatFS
- Requires [mklittlefs executable](https://github.com/earlephilhower/mklittlefs) which is available [in releases section here](https://github.com/lorol/arduino-esp32fs-plugin ) or download the zipped binary [here](https://github.com/earlephilhower/mklittlefs/releases) or from **esp-quick-toolchain** releases [here](https://github.com/earlephilhower/esp-quick-toolchain/releases)
- Copy it to **/tools** folder of esp32 platform where **espota** and **esptool** (.py or.exe) tools are located
- Restart Arduino IDE.
### PlatformIO
- See [LITTLEFS_PlatformIO example here](https://github.com/lorol/LITTLEFS/tree/master/examples/LITTLEFS_PlatformIO)
( based on notes below from [BlueAndi](https://github.com/BlueAndi) )
- Add to _platformio.ini_:
`extra_scripts = replace_fs.py`
- Add _replace_fs.py_ to project root directory (where platformio.ini is located):
```python
Import("env")
print("Replace MKSPIFFSTOOL with mklittlefs.exe")
env.Replace (MKSPIFFSTOOL = "mklittlefs.exe")
```
- Add _mklittlefs.exe_ to project root directory as well.

## To Do
- Supporting different IDF versions
- [x] Submit to be added to Arduino Library Manager
- [ ] Decide on more compatibility (or not) with SPIFFS' lack of folders, similar to esp8266' way:
- [recursive folders auto creation](https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/libraries/LittleFS/src/LittleFS.cpp#L60) when a new file is created at non-existing path
- [recursive folders auto deletion](https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/libraries/LittleFS/src/LittleFS.h#L149) on "last file" deletion (SPIFFS cannot have "folder w/o file")
- review other differences: opendir(), rmdir(), unlink()
- [ ] Follow-up / eventually retire this library if LittleFS gets implemented through IDF / esp32 Arduino core.
