Hello,

According to the documentation, the FatFs-Filesystem can be used under a BSD-style license. How About the exFAT licence fee. Has this fee already been paid with the purchase of the STM32?

    The FatFS is free to use under its own BSD-like licence.

    The file system exFAT, on the other hand, is a Microsoft IP, the purchase of an STM32 does not include a licence or related fees, all licensing issues must be clarified with Microsoft.

    Regards
