storage devices such as Flash memory. The file system offers file access and
directory management, mainly including creating the file system, creating,
deleting, modifying and renaming a file or a directory and opening a file.

a program system. The program user can operate the programs on both modules.

cf:]/", where [No.] is the slave module number, and [flash: | cf:] is the name of the
