I was just wondering why there wasn't a file system interface
(i.e. supporting calls like fopen, fwrite, fread, and fclose) to FIS.
I've been scanning the sources and the mailing list archive, and it
appears that the only place FIS is touched is in redboot, and I'm
wondering why only there, before I write an ecos application that
handles FIS directly.
P.S. Please don't say just use JFFS2. It is quite heavily overkill for
my needs.

I guess that this just hadn't occurred to anyone :-)
Before you write your application that uses FIS directly (first, don't
forget that there are RedBoot virtual vector interfaces already for this),
perhaps you might consider writing the file system wrapper(*) instead?
(*) which, of course, we'd like to see contributed to the codebase.
