question about file system implementation

I am trying to implement USB mass storage device. Its memory capacity is 16kB. I have referred Keil USBMem example for MCB2140. I referred some file system tutorials. Can FAT16 and FAT32 be used for such a shorter memory?
I think I will have to go for FAT. Is FAT still used?

  • You can see it is a FAT12 is you examine the boot record provided with the samples (see google for details). I recommend you leave this idea behind you, as it will not fit your needs: the host cannot simply synchronize with the device without generally re-enumerating the device. As Andy suggested, you are much better of with a virtual COM port (easy for the host) or an HID connection, which required more host-side work.
