So, I take starthi, and shift 16 bits left, then and in the start value.
That should give me the byte address of the first cluster of the file,
correct?
Then I need to follow the cluster chain until I get a bad value.
It looks like wrong as dirent. Did you use 523793 really? If so, I think
523791 is correct value. :)
And I didn't mention about offset correctly. offset means number of
entries, not bytes offset. So, bytes offset is buf + offset * 32.
(32 == sizeof(struct msdos_dir_entry))
Thanks.
Ok, I fixed the buf + offset * 32. I have a new volume, so the error is now:
fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 523781)
I added a few lines at the end to print the start value:
pos = dirent.starthi 16;
pos |= dirent.start;
