Tool to build and unpack SPIFFS images.

Usage


   mkspiffs  {-c <pack_dir>|-u <dest_dir>|-l|-i} [-d <0-5>] [-b <number>]
             [-p <number>] [-s <number>] [--] [--version] [-h]
             <image_file>


Where: 

   -c <pack_dir>,  --create <pack_dir>
     (OR required)  create spiffs image from a directory
         -- OR --
   -u <dest_dir>,  --unpack <dest_dir>
     (OR required)  unpack spiffs image to a directory
         -- OR --
   -l,  --list
     (OR required)  list files in spiffs image
         -- OR --
   -i,  --visualize
     (OR required)  visualize spiffs image


   -d <0-5>,  --debug <0-5>
     Debug level. 0 means no debug output.

   -b <number>,  --block <number>
     fs block size, in bytes

   -p <number>,  --page <number>
     fs page size, in bytes

   -s <number>,  --size <number>
     fs image size, in bytes

   --,  --ignore_rest
     Ignores the rest of the labeled arguments following this flag.

   --version
     Displays version information and exits.

   -h,  --help
     Displays usage information and exits.

   <image_file>
     (required)  spiffs image file


Build

Build status

You need gcc (≥4.8) or clang(≥600.0.57), and make. On Windows, use MinGW.

Run:

$ git submodule update --init
$ make dist

SPIFFS configuration

Some SPIFFS options which are set at mkspiffs build time affect the format of the generated filesystem image. Make sure such options are set to the same values when builing mkspiffs and when building the application which uses SPIFFS.

These options include:

  • SPIFFS_OBJ_NAME_LEN
  • SPIFFS_OBJ_META_LEN
  • SPIFFS_USE_MAGIC
  • SPIFFS_USE_MAGIC_LENGTH
  • SPIFFS_ALIGNED_OBJECT_INDEX_TABLES
  • possibly others

To see the default values of these options, check include/spiffs_config.h file in this repository.

To override some options at build time, pass extra CPPFLAGS to make. You can also set BUILD_CONFIG_NAME variable to distinguish the built binary:

$ make clean
$ make dist CPPFLAGS="-DSPIFFS_OBJ_META_LEN=4" BUILD_CONFIG_NAME=-custom

To check which options were set when building mkspiffs, use --version command:

$ mkspiffs --version
mkspiffs ver. 0.2.2
Build configuration name: custom
SPIFFS ver. 0.3.7-5-gf5e26c4
Extra build flags: -DSPIFFS_OBJ_META_LEN=4
SPIFFS configuration:
  SPIFFS_OBJ_NAME_LEN: 32
  SPIFFS_OBJ_META_LEN: 4
  SPIFFS_USE_MAGIC: 1
  SPIFFS_USE_MAGIC_LENGTH: 1
  SPIFFS_ALIGNED_OBJECT_INDEX_TABLES: 0
