## File System Limitations

1. **Max File Size for FAT**: The maximum single file size of a FAT file system depends on the capacity of the storage medium. Check the size of the SD card used and the type of FAT (FAT16/32/ExFat) automatically assigned.
1. **Multiple Open Instances**: The current implementations of littlefs and FatFs do not support opening the same file multiple times simultaneously[^1][^2]. This limitation can affect scenarios where multiple accesses to the same file are required concurrently.

2. **Multiple Open Instances**: The current implementations of littlefs and FatFs do not support opening the same file multiple times simultaneously[^1][^2]. This limitation can affect scenarios where multiple accesses to the same file are required concurrently.
2. **Access to on-board flash from `core1`**: When operating file systems using the onboard flash block device on `core1`, it is necessary to run the operations from RAM[^3].

3. **`core1` Usage with Onboard Flash Block Device**: When operating file systems using the onboard flash block device on `core1`, it is necessary to run the operations from RAM[^3].
3. **Access on-board flash in FreeRTOS**: To access the flash device, the firmware must be stored in RAM or run with `#define configNUMBER_OF_CORES 1`.

4. **Memory maped IO**: `mmap` system call not supported.

5. **Max File Size for FAT**: The maximum single file size of a FAT file system depends on the capacity of the storage medium. Check the size of the SD card used and the type of FAT (FAT16/32/ExFat) automatically assigned.

We recommend reviewing these limitations before designing systems that heavily rely on multicore operations or require high file access availability.
