This blog is a guide on how to setup using the FatFs library included with the Kinetis SDK 1.2.0 using mostly the Processor expert within Eclipse Luna. FatFs is a generic FAT file system module for small embedded systems written by Chan. I prefer to use Processor Expert when possible as this will often generate code that is smaller in size than using the KSDK library files direct. I experienced many gotcha’s and complication setting this up and wanted to share how I finally managed to get it to work.

1. Prerequisites
2. Create New Project
3. Open Processor Expert
4. Add SD card component
5. Add Init_Port component
6. Add GPIO component
7. Configure the clock
8. Import FatFs
9. Add Card detection code
10. FAT file appender function
11. Disable the MPU

Prerequisites

Before you begin please make sure your development environment is setup and you can already compile and debug code using KSDK 1.2.0 on Eclipse Luna…
