Debugger hangs when setting CCLKCFG register

When setting the clockdivider in the system_LPC17xx.c in the systemInit routine
"LPC_SC->CCLKCFG = CCLKCFG_Val; /* Setup Clock Divider "
the debugger hangs with error like
15: Target error from register access
Cannot complete transaction even after slowing speed.

The clksrc is still IRC and the CCLKCFG_Val is 3 so I think the new CPU clock will temporarily be 1 Mhz.
The program works fine when freerunning without jtag debugg & LPC-link.
What to do?

When you change the clock speed and/or oscillator source, you are also changing the speed of the debug connection. As you are stepping the code when this happens, the debugger is no longer able to connect, as you have changed the connection 'under it's feet'.

The way around this is to set a breakpoint after you change the speed and RUN to the breakpoint. The debugger will then resync the debug connection, when the breakpoint is hit. This is not possible when single stepping.

Thanks it works now so I'm satisfied for the moment. But in fact I was suspicious to the under the feet issue and tried to set a breakpoint some instructions ahead before but I left it since It doesn't helped then and since I'm really not sure of what going on in every part. However now I'n able to reset the program and single step through the clock initialisation and also look onto the Sysctl/peripheral variable in the monitors window changing from 0 to 3 (i.e. div by 1 resp 4).

Hello again.
Just to be more exakt...

I checked what differ.

- The debugger doesn't hang when going from cpu clk division by 1 to 3. (I had changed the code when setting higher CPU freq)

- The debugger still hangs when going from cpu clk division by 1 to 4. (the original situation when I reported this morning)
