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
:zephyr_file:`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 and for the quark_se_c1000_devboard board:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/subsys/usb/mass
:board: quark_se_c1000_devboard
:gen-args: -DOVERLAY_CONFIG="overlay-ram-disk.conf"
:goals: build
:compact:
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:
.. code-block:: console
$ journalctl -k -n 17

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.
