Dave Hylands dd38d90724 Initial checkin with STM HAL 
This compiles and links, but hasn't been tested on a board
yet and even if it was run, it doesn't currently do anything.

<h1>FatFs - Generic FAT File System Module</h1>
<hr>
<div class="abst">
<img src="img/layers.png" class="rset" width="245" height="255" alt="layer">
<p>FatFs is a generic FAT file system module for small embedded systems. The FatFs is written in compliance with ANSI C and completely separated from the disk I/O layer. Therefore it is independent of hardware architecture. It can be incorporated into low cost microcontrollers, such as AVR, 8051, PIC, ARM, Z80, 68k and etc..., without any change. Petit FatFs module is also available <a href="http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/00index_p.html">here</a>.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Windows compatible FAT file system.</li>
<li>Platform independent. Easy to port.</li>
<li>Very small footprint for code and work area.</li>
<li>Various configuration options:
<ul>
<li>Multiple volumes (physical drives and partitions).</li>
<li>Multiple ANSI/OEM code pages including DBCS.</li>
<li>Long file name support in ANSI/OEM or Unicode.</li>
<li>RTOS support.</li>
<li>Multiple sector size support.</li>
<li>Read-only, minimized API, I/O buffer and etc...</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<h3>Disk I/O Interface</h3>
<p>Since the FatFs module is completely separated from disk I/O layer, it requires following functions to access the physical media. When O/S related feature is enabled, it will require process/memory functions in addition. However the low level disk I/O module is not a part of FatFs module, so that it must be provided by user. The sample implementations are also available in the downloads.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="en/dinit.html">disk_initialize</a> - Initialize disk drive</li>
<li><a href="en/dstat.html">disk_status</a> - Get disk status</li>
<li><a href="en/dread.html">disk_read</a> - Read sector(s)</li>
<li><a href="en/dwrite.html">disk_write</a> - Write sector(s)</li>
<li><a href="en/dioctl.html">disk_ioctl</a> - Control device dependent features</li>
