Hi!
I want to embedd in my code the possibility to open and read a file from a directory in my PC. I've used fopen with the path of the file, but it doesn't work, it can't find the file. Is there a better way to do that? I can't use external storage device, such as SD or USB.
Thank you,
Janet

Hi,

Have a look at https://wiki.segger.com/Semihosting
The linked example, https://wiki.segger.com/images/a/ad/STM32F407_Semihosting_Eclipse.zip, can be easily ported to XMC.

Regards,
Jesus

Thank you very much!

Now I have a question: is it possible to transfer a file from an extern device to the xmc4800 through SPI and read it? In my company we want to embed the xmc4800 in our system and we need to send files to the xmc that will read them and do some stuff according to the data in the files.
