Dear Jan,
I created a file called setup.txt on the mbed local file and I save these variable to it:
ip 192.168.3.60
name Pin
I want to retrieve these variable from the file each time the mbed restarted , that’s mean when I change anything in the file , my variable in my program will change in the next reset.
I tried reading from the local file system but it didn’t work.
Could you please provide me with an example for the same variables I need.
Regards
Nada
Hello,
I do not know what exactly did you tried but
LocalFileSystem - The LocalFileSystem is a symbiotic file system that connects to the Mbed board’s interface chip if the interface chip has built-in storage. The features available on the LocalFileSystem is dependent on the board’s interface chip. Note: The LocalFileSystem is only available on the LPC1768 and LPC11U24.
Do you still using MbedOS 5.15?
Try to look to the KVStore - APIs | Mbed OS 5 Documentation instead.
BR, Jan
Hello Jan,
I’m trying this
#include "mbed.h"
LocalFileSystem local("local"); //File System
int main()
{
char ip_address[15];
char name[15];
// update config file
FILE * fp = fopen("/local/config.txt", "w"); // Open "config.txt" on the local file system for writing
FILE *tmp = fopen("/local/tmp.txt", "r"); // Open "temp.txt" on the local file system for read
if (tmp == NULL) {
error("Could not open file");
}
while (!feof(tmp)) {
int n = fscanf(tmp, "%s\t%s\n",
&ip_address, &name);
if (n != 2) {
error("Could not read 12 elements");
}
fprintf(fp, "%s\t%s\n",
ip_address, name);
}
fclose(fp);
fclose(tmp);
}
But I have issue with config.txt it showing me errors when I tried to open it.
Yes I’m still using mbed_os 5
in the remp.txt I wrote
192.168.3.60 Pinning

And your board is?
BR, Jan
Lpc1768 later I will try it in the UBLOx c027
Thank you Jan,
It’s working now.
Regards
Nada
I do not have LPC1768 so can not test on real hardware. Also I not see anything wrong in your code.
But anyway I think it is waste of time. C027 is based on LPC1768 but the LPC1768 board has a addition IC memory for that feature. So do you are sure C027 also has it?
BR, Jan
Actually I’m not sure.
I thought as UBLOX is based on the LPC1768 so it will work.
I will try and see.
Thank you so much
Regards
Nada
For Ublox do no forgot to add to mbed_app.json content below
{
"target_overrides": {
"*":{
"target.device_has_add": ["LOCALFILESYSTEM"]
}
}
}
BR, Jan
Thank you Jan,
Should I create this file manually?
I need also to ask you if I can assign a value to the MAC default value in the platforms- sources - mbed_interface.c from a file or xml file.?
Please, your advise
Regards
Nada
Hello,
If you have access to the memory via USB, then probably yes.
I do not know it depends when the function for setting a MAC is called.
BR, Jan
Thank you Jan.
I will try and see.

Hello Jan how are you
I had a program to creat an xml and then parse the data. I edited the program to be as the following
#include "mbed.h"
#include "tinyxml.h"
#include <string>

I just commented the const demostart* , I wrote the const demostart* into the xml file, read the file and then copy the buffer to demostart.
When I parse the data , the result will be as the following
before commenting the demostart the result were as the following
I don’t know what the difference if I have a const char* and if I read the file and copy it to char*
Please your advise

Hello Jan, what do u mean if I have the access to the memory from the USB ???
Regards
Nada
Hello,
I do not understand what you mean with the variable.
You asked about create the file manually. How did you want to create the file manually ?
I do not know how many informations do you want to hold but from my point of view the xml file seems to be like overkill solution for few strings.
BR, Jan
Hello Jan,
I meant where I can find the mbed_app.json? if it’s not in my program path, should I create a new file and name it mbed_app.jason ?
Regards
Nada
Yes, if you not already have it in the project then you must to create new one.
BR, Jan
Thank you just I wanted to be sure.

Nada
Hello Jan,
I hope you are doing well.
I added mbed_app.json to the my project psth on the UBLOx c_027 as te picture below:
and I wrote inside it
{
"target_overrides": {
"*":{
"target.device_has_add": ["LOCALFILESYSTEM"]
}
}
}
and I got the following error
Error: Use of undeclared identifier ‘semihost_open’ in “mbed-os/platform/source/LocalFileSystem.cpp”, Line: 107, Col: 21
when I checked the error, all the responses mentioned that the localfile is not supported in the CMSIS-DAP even after I added the json file.
Also when I wrote in the mbed_app.json the following
{
"target_overrides": {
"*":{
"target.device_has_add": ["LOCALFILESYSTEM"],
"target.device_has_add": ["SEMIHOST"]
}
}
}
I got also an error in the mbed_interface.cpp
Please your support.

Nada
Hello,
and arror is?
