I'm trying to setup a counter using TIMER0. I have the LPC4350 Hitex board and I'm using pin 1.17 as my external clock input (this is coming from a function generator set at 100kHz, 3.3v, 50% duty cycle). In the code I first setup the pin as an input configured for FUNCTION4 (T0_CAP3 Input). I then configure the GIMA to route this pin to TIMER0. I also set TIMER0->CTCR = 0xd. Finally, I enable the timer. After some analysis what I find is that there is a scale factor of 1/8. So rather than seeing 100,000 ticks per second, I'm seeing 100,000/8 ticks per second. Any ideas or examples which show how to accomplish this?
