    Typically not used due to block sizes and relative slowness of erase/write.

    Going to have own task of developing DISKIO layer to interface with the QSPI BSP you've created for your board.​

    Thanks Clive 1 for prompt response,

    are there any other cons of using FATfs over QSPI flash, I know it will be slower but because it will be standardized so client want to use it.

    on Block sizes do you mean to say, each file will consumed 64Kb block even though the file size is small?

    What is the minimum erase block size for the device chosen, check data sheet.

    People normally use eMMC for chip equivalents to SD cards, for block, wear and defect management.​
