In past, I implemented HFS+ on an embedded rtos platform,. Technical Note TN1150 [1] proved to be extremely useful asset. From a cursory look, I feel TN1150 was much more detailed, and perhaps can be treated as a pre-req to this document. At least it should have been mentioned in this document.

You got me curious, can you explain why you needed to implement HFS+? Was it read only?

I was working on a video recorder product that could record videos directly to iPods, iPhones and other media players. iPods were formatted to HFS+, if you connected them to a Mac out-of-box, and were formatted to FAT32, if you connected them to a PC. The platform i was working on was an RTOS, and we had to develop both FAT32, and HFS+ from scratch. It was not read-only, it supported both read/write.
