[Moved]sd card read the root directory

[pic+gsm]

I am not using the (FATFS or any known file stems), I have managed to find one open source code/tutorial on file systems which I am working with, like I said I can read any files such as (“TEST.TXT”) my problem is I can’t access or display the root directory files of the sd card.

this is the code i am trying to work with.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

typedef struct {
    unsigned char first_byte;
    unsigned char start_chs[3];
    unsigned char partition_type;
    unsigned char end_chs[3];
    unsigned long start_sector;
    unsigned long length_sectors;
} __attribute((packed)) PartitionTable;

typedef struct {
    unsigned char jmp[3];
    char oem[8];
    unsigned short sector_size;
    unsigned char sectors_per_cluster;
    unsigned short reserved_sectors;
    unsigned char number_of_fats;
    unsigned short root_dir_entries;
    unsigned short total_sectors_short; // if zero, later field is used
    unsigned char media_descriptor;
    unsigned short fat_size_sectors;
    unsigned short sectors_per_track;
    unsigned short number_of_heads;
    unsigned long hidden_sectors;
    unsigned long total_sectors_long;
    
    unsigned char drive_number;
    unsigned char current_head;
    unsigned char boot_signature;
    unsigned long volume_id;
    char volume_label[11];
    char fs_type[8];
    char boot_code[448];
    unsigned short boot_sector_signature;
} __attribute((packed)) Fat16BootSector;

typedef struct {
    unsigned char filename[8];
    unsigned char ext[3];
    unsigned char attributes;
    unsigned char reserved[10];
    unsigned short modify_time;
    unsigned short modify_date;
    unsigned short starting_cluster;
    unsigned long file_size;
} __attribute((packed)) Fat16Entry;

void print_file_info(Fat16Entry *entry) {
    switch(entry->filename[0]) {
    case 0x00:
        return; // unused entry
    case 0xE5:
        printf("Deleted file: [?%.7s.%.3s]\n", entry->filename+1, entry->ext);
        return;
    case 0x05:
        printf("File starting with 0xE5: [%c%.7s.%.3s]\n", 0xE5, entry->filename+1, entry->ext);
        break;
    case 0x2E:
        printf("Directory: [%.8s.%.3s]\n", entry->filename, entry->ext);
        break;
    default:
        printf("File: [%.8s.%.3s]\n", entry->filename, entry->ext);
    }
    
    printf("  Modified: %04d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d.%02d    Start: [%04X]    Size: %d\n", 
        1980 + (entry->modify_date >> 9), (entry->modify_date >> 5) & 0xF, entry->modify_date & 0x1F,
        (entry->modify_time >> 11), (entry->modify_time >> 5) & 0x3F, entry->modify_time & 0x1F,
        entry->starting_cluster, entry->file_size);
}

int main() {
    FILE * in = fopen("test.img", "rb");
    int i;
    PartitionTable pt[4];
    Fat16BootSector bs;
    Fat16Entry entry;
    
    fseek(in, 0x1BE, SEEK_SET); // go to partition table start
    fread(pt, sizeof(PartitionTable), 4, in); // read all four entries
    
    for(i=0; i<4; i++) {        
        if(pt[i].partition_type == 4 || pt[i].partition_type == 6 ||
           pt[i].partition_type == 14) {
            printf("FAT16 filesystem found from partition %d\n", i);
            break;
        }
    }
    
    if(i == 4) {
        printf("No FAT16 filesystem found, exiting...\n");
        return -1;
    }
    
    fseek(in, 512 * pt[i].start_sector, SEEK_SET);
    fread(&bs, sizeof(Fat16BootSector), 1, in);
    
    printf("Now at 0x%X, sector size %d, FAT size %d sectors, %d FATs\n\n", 
           ftell(in), bs.sector_size, bs.fat_size_sectors, bs.number_of_fats);
           
    fseek(in, (bs.reserved_sectors-1 + bs.fat_size_sectors * bs.number_of_fats) *
          bs.sector_size, SEEK_CUR);
        
    for(i=0; i<bs.root_dir_entries; i++) {
        fread(&entry, sizeof(entry), 1, in);
        print_file_info(&entry);
    }
    
    printf("\nRoot directory read, now at 0x%X\n", ftell(in));
    fclose(in);
    return 0;
}

i have been using the **broken link removed**

but my question is there a way i can read boot from the sd without the .img file?

pleas someone help me

Maybe you could explain a little bit about the program you have given..how is it supposed to read boot from the sd card..?
