Changing the main frequency clock

Hi,

The LPC812-Max board works at 24 MHz. But what if I want to make it work slower (using the IRC) or at its max freq, say 30 MHz using a 10 MHz external crystal?

There are not clear ways to change the 24 MHz freq. I have followed the function calls chain and I couldn't see a single one that receives a parameter indicating not only the external crystal freq, but also a PLL multiplier. In other words, the 24 MHz freq seems to be fixed.

A design I'm working on is supposed to use a 10 MHz crystal (we bought hundreds of them  :p ) in order to get 30 MHz system clock. For now 24 MHz is ok, but 30 MHz is a must.

Any ideas? Something that I have over-locked?

I'm not familiar with the LPC54102 chip, but I guess it's following the same principles from the LPCXpresso framework, so it's not enough to change the frequency as you did in

Chip_SetupIrcClocking(32000000);

You must also inform the crystal frequency and the oscillation source. Pretty nasty, uh? That's the NXP way :P

Some time ago I wrote a little tutorial (mostly for myself) in regards how to choose the correct oscillation source. Maybe you want to check it out:

I'm using LPC54102 and I want to make the main clock slower from 100MHz to 32MHz.

so I change in sysinit_5410x.c

from

Chip_SetupIrcClocking(100000000);

to

Chip_SetupIrcClocking(32000000);

but after running, the SystemCoreClock is still at 96000000

Do I need to change something else?

Hi,

I looked at the functions you pointed me out, but although that has answered my original question (thanks!), two more have arose:

1.- I need to touch system files. Very bad idea.

2.- That workaround won't work when in the same workspace I have two o more projects, some using an external crystal, and some using the internal clock. One workspace per project? Maybe. Conditional compilation? We'll go back to point 1.

Right?

Hi fjrg76,

Are you using the latest LPCOpen package for the LPC81x? If so, have you looked at Chip_SetupIrcClocking in sysinit_8xx.c? This function should be called in SystemInit(), prior to entering main().
