Thanks for your reply. It took so long for my previous post to get approved by
the group but i managed to fix it.
There was nothing wrong with the code itself. Actyally the content of the file
was pure binary, therefore, I was unable to see float or int data. Opening the
binary file in matlab showing the same data contents.
Thanks.

B.S.,
My first check would be:
What is the value in BYTE_COUNT?
If the byte count value is >1, then
You could try..
for(int i =0; i < sizeof(data), i++)
{
fwrite( (char*)(&data)+i, 1, 1, pFP );
}
----However----
it sounds like your opening the file for ascii rather than binary data
and that your system is "little endian".
(with little endian, an int=5 looks like: 0x05, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00)
Note:An ascii write will stop at the first null
I suggest you look at the way the file is being opened.
For a full Linux system, like Ubuntu Linux, the 'b' in the open
statement has no
effect, but since your running something else, I would suspect that is the
problem.

Hi,
I managed to have file system on SD card, successfully created a file and write
char data in there but I am unable to write int or float data to file. Pointer
to buffer is always char so I did type-cast but no success, it is still writing
char to text file.
write(fptr, (char*)writebuf, BYTE_COUNT);
Any help ?
Regards,
BAS

I guess yes, any good FS software, but you would have to write a driver code
for the MMC/SD controller for the OMAP silicon. Here I even do not mention
a Linux or whatever OS driver. I mean a basic routine that would sercive the
controller events.
I might be wrong, so please correct me, but it seem that the controller does
not depend on the USB controller, it is a separate one. At least on the
DM6446
device.

Per my understanding, the MMC/SD card is actually a USB storage device.
Therefore, it needs driver support in the kernel.

Andrew,
Thanks for your help.
Can I use any software to have a file system on SD card then simple C code to
create a file and write data to it ?
Thanks.

Hi,
You will need to use a file system and a software library
that implements one.

Hi,
I am using OMAP-L138 board which has SD card interface. I want to write large
amount of processed data to SD card. I have sample code which checks if the SD
card is present, it also reads and writes data in RAW format.
However, I want to write data to .txt file but don't know how to do
that.
1. Do I need to make partition to SD card first ?
2. Do I simple need C code e.g. F_OPEN to create a file and call write function
to dumb data over there ?
3. How can I define the path to create a file ?
