Below you can find information on the Suspend service, which enables a graceful shutdown of the FAT file-system, in case of a power failure.
Power failure and file-systems
During the device's life-time, power failure may occur. These failures threaten the reliability of the FAT file-system. The use of Windows CE's TFAT (Transaction-safe FAT) / ExFAT significally reduces the risk of a file-system corruption. However, no file system is 100% fail-safe. Power failure while file-system is actively writing, might rarely cause errors, even while using TFAT. Therefore, a graceful shutdown at power failure incident, when possible, is recommended. The suspend service requires 250ms to complete the File-system shutdown, while SOMs power consumption is 1.32Watt (400ma @3.3v)
Suspend service - Graceful shutdown. Usage guidelines
Suspend service is waiting for a falling-edge event of a specific GPIO, at a high-priority task. Once such event is triggered, the Suspend-service gracefully shuts-down the FAT file-system at the highest priority.
Suspend service is available from BSP version 1.3.6 and forth.
Usage Guidelines:
- To enable the Suspend Service, please set:
set BSP_SSP=1
in VAR_OM35xx_P.bat
- in FILES\platform.reg you may choose the appropriate GPIO which triggers the event:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\SSP] "Prefix"="SSP" "Dll"="sspdrv.dll" "Index"=dword:0 "Order"=dword:40 "GpioId"=dword:6D ;GPIO#109
