USB Mass Storage Sample Application¶
Overview¶
This sample app demonstrates use of a USB Mass Storage driver by the Zephyr project. This very simple driver enumerates a board with either RAM or FLASH into an USB disk. This sample can be found under samples/subsys/usb/mass in the Zephyr project tree.
Requirements¶
This project requires a USB device driver, and either 16KiB of RAM or a FLASH device.
Building and Running¶
This sample can be built for multiple boards. The selection between a RAM-based
or a FLASH-based disk can be selected using the overlay-ram-disk.conf or
the overlay-flash-disk.conf overlays. In this example we will build the sample
with a RAM-based disk:
west build -b reel_board samples/subsys/usb/mass -- -DOVERLAY_CONFIG="overlay-ram-disk.conf"
After you have built and flashed the sample app image to your board, plug the board into a host device, for example, a PC running Linux. The board will be detected as shown by the Linux journalctl command:
$ journalctl -k -n 17

The disk contains a simple README.TXT file with the following content:
This is a RAM Disk based USB Mass Storage demo for Zephyr.
Files can be added or removed like with a simple USB disk, of course within the 16KiB limit.
