Performance Comparative Analysis of Flash File System for Embedded Systems on Linux Environment  

Choi, Jin-Oh (Department of Embedded Software, Busan University of Foreign Studies)
Abstract
Recently the operating system share of linux on embedded system is increasing. The embedded systems on linux environment, commonly equip a file system as mini hard disk or flash memory to keep data. The types of the file system of the system are various according to it's operating system. Anyway, the more embedded system depends on the file system, the selection of the type of the file system effects more on the performance of the system. This thesis performs the performance benchmark of a FAT and Ext file systems which are most popular in embedded system. As the result, it is discussed that what file system is better at which case. These results will be a index at the selection of flash file system of the embedded systems on linux environment.
