Could someone help me to find out the error in this program? I built the program successfully using LPCXpresso and debugged with the LPC1343 development board. But I am not getting any PWM at the output pins. The output is always high. What is the problem with this code?

#include "LPC13xx.h"

int main(void)

If my eye is good, my scope shows PWM with your code running on my board.... :)

Although this code is running :eek:, I wouldn't go so far to say it's good. It's an[I] 'I'm confused'[/I] code :rolleyes:

#1: Setting direction for non GPIO-functions is nonsense, so don't try to set PWM outputs as GPIO outputs.

 LPC_GPIO0->DIR |= (1 << 8);            // - select OUTPUT
 LPC_GPIO0->DIR |= (1 << 9);            // - select OUTPUT
 LPC_GPIO1->DIR |= (1 << 9);            // - select OUTPUT
 LPC_GPIO1->DIR |= (1 << 10);        // - select OUTPUT

#2: If you enable PWM you don't need to care about setting/resetting PWM outputs, so EMC settings in EMR are useless:

 LPC_TMR16B0->EMR |= 0x000000F0;      // Toggle output when a match occurs with MR0 and MR1
 LPC_TMR16B1->EMR |= 0x000000F0;      // Toggle output when a match occurs with MR0 and MR1

#3: EMR can be used to force outputs high or low with EM0-EM3 bits as shown in sample below.

#4: To generate more readable code you should set/reset bits in blocks like function, mode...

//PIO0_8
 LPC_IOCON->PIO0_8 &= ~((1<<10)|(1<<5)|(3<<3)|(7<<0)); //reset func,mode,hys,OD
 LPC_IOCON->PIO0_8 |=  ((2<<3)|(2<<0));                   //set CT16B0 MAT0, pullup

#5: Prescale Counter register is also helping to generate more readable code. Just use it as divider.

//set prescaler
 LPC_TMR16B0->PR  = 71;                    //prescaler:72 -> time base: 1/1MHz = 1µs

#6: If this sample isn't running you're not using a standard LPCXpresso project and should check basic settings like IOCON clock...

int main(void)
{
 volatile unsigned int i;
 printf("PWM16 Sample\n");
//Init PWM
 LPC_SYSCON->SYSAHBCLKCTRL |= (1 << 7);        //enables clock for 16-bit counter/timer 0
 LPC_SYSCON->SYSAHBCLKCTRL |= (1 << 8);        //enables clock for 16-bit counter/timer 1
//PIO0_8
 LPC_IOCON->PIO0_8 &= ~((1<<10)|(1<<5)|(3<<3)|(7<<0)); //reset func,mode,hys,OD
 LPC_IOCON->PIO0_8 |=  ((2<<3)|(2<<0));                   //set CT16B0 MAT0, pullup
//PIO0_9
 LPC_IOCON->PIO0_9 &= ~((1<<10)|(1<<5)|(3<<3)|(7<<0)); //reset func,mode,hys,OD

 LPC_IOCON->PIO1_10 |=  ((1<<7)|(2<<3)|(2<<0));                //set CT16B1 MAT1, pullup, digital

//set match / interrupts
 LPC_TMR16B0->MCR = (1 << 10);            //MR3 reset, no interrupts
 LPC_TMR16B1->MCR = (1 << 10);            //MR3 reset, no interrupts

//set prescaler
 LPC_TMR16B0->PR  = 71;                    //prescaler:72 -> time base: 1/1MHz = 1µs

 LPC_TMR16B0->TCR = 1;                    //start timer 0

 while(1)

:mad: Forgotten #7 :mad:

#7: Switching PWM outputs continuously high or low can be done with MR register setting without stopping timer:

//switching PIO0_8 low/high/low/PWM(1kHz)
 i=0;while(i<100000){i++;}                //delay
 LPC_TMR16B0->MR0 =LPC_TMR16B0->MR3+1;  //match register > reset register => output low
 i=0;while(i<100000){i++;}                //delay
 LPC_TMR16B0->MR0 =0;                      //match register = 0 => output high
 i=0;while(i<100000){i++;}                //delay
 LPC_TMR16B0->MR0 =LPC_TMR16B0->MR3+1;  //match register > reset register => output low
 i=0;while(i<100000){i++;}                //delay
//reset counter to get full PWM cycle again, don't use this command
//if other MAT outputs of this timer are still working 
//LPC_TMR16B0->TC  = 0;                    //reset counter
 LPC_TMR16B0->MR0 =LPC_TMR16B0->MR3/4;  //valid match register again

To Zero,

Now we have a reference to [I]'I'm clean' [/I]code because of that [I]'I'm confused'[/I] code...:D
You must be kept in a seperate league in this forum. I would say "super senior member" is a good name for that category.

To NxP,

        /* Setup the external match register */
        LPC_TMR16B1->EMR = (1<<EMC3)|(1<<EMC2)|(1<<EMC1)|(2<<EMC0)|(1<<3)|(match_enable);

This code is from an example provided by NxP for PWM (for LPC1100),
The EMR register has been written needlessly as our "super senior member" has pointed out. I wouldn't complain this as a serious problem, because this is another way to control the initial state of those MAT pins, but this is a good way to confuse a beginner :confused: which includes myself...:eek:.

What we need in these examples is much more clearer

Thank you very much for your replies. I will try your codes as well as my code. But before that, can you please guide me how to create a new project in LPCXpresso? I think that I am going some where wrong in the steps.
I used to create a new project in the following way.
File>New> Project>C project (C/C++)>Project Name>LPCXpresso empty C project>Select both Debug and Release>Select LPC1343>Finish. Now I add a folder to file named src and add the program.c file as well as the necessary header files to the src folder. Then Build and Debug.
Is this the right way? I am a very beginner. Please help me.

You should create a LPCXpresso project with CMSIS included. This should be done if you use project wizard:

File-> New -> Project: project wizard is opening

Select 'LPCXpresso C Project', Click Next

Select your project type: 'C project' or 'Semihosting C project', use semihosting to use console output, Click Next

Enter a project name, Click Next

Select your mcu, Click Next

Select options (let the wizard include CMSIS and CRP) and click Finish

Now your project wizard should create you a complete project, CMSIS included and ready to start :)

You can also find a few informative videos in section 'More Information-Literature' of

...

Is this the right way? I am a very beginner. Please help me.

There is a very good "Getting Started" that is installed together with the LPCXpresso tools. After installation you even have to untick a box in order not to get it on your screen :eek:
I know ... I also always untick the "Open readme.txt" stuff that comes with installations...

This manual can be found in Window's start menu (all programs -. LPCXpresso v4.1.5_219 -> Help and Guides -> Getting Started
It explains how to start importing the examples, building them, debugging your code, creating a new workspace, creating a new project, how to recover your board if it stopped working and much more.

Believe it or not, I did read this manual even though I have a > 20 years profession in embedded software development.

Regards,[INDENT]Rob

-- if everything else fails, read the manual
