LPC1347 Setting up 16bit timer MCR register

[mateuszkiełbasa]

Hi!

I'd like to use 16bit timer to get interrupt with 1s period. I have one question. This is my code

#include "board.h"

#include <cr_section_macros.h>

#define PORT 1
#define PIN 1

#define LED_PORT 0
#define LED_PIN 7

#define IR_MR0INT_MASK _BIT(0)

#define MCR_MR0I_MASK _BIT(0)
#define MCR_MR0R_MASK _BIT(1)

#define TCR_CEN_MASK _BIT(0)
#define TCR_CRST_MASK _BIT(1)

#define CT_CLOCK_MASK _BIT(SYSCTL_CLOCK_CT16B0)
#define NVIC_CT_INT_GROUP 0
#define NVIC_CT_INT_MASK _BIT(TIMER_16_0_IRQn)

/**
* @brief Timer interrupt handler
* @return Nothing
*/
void TIMER16_0_IRQHandler(void) {

    // Check if match channel 1 interrupt is pending
    if (LPC_TIMER16_0->IR & IR_MR0INT_MASK) {
        // If yes clear interrupt flag and toogle the led state
        LPC_TIMER16_0->IR = IR_MR0INT_MASK;
        LPC_GPIO_PORT->NOT[LED_PORT] = _BIT(LED_PIN);
    }
}

/**
* @return Function should not exit
*/
int main(void) {

    // Generic setup
    SystemCoreClockUpdate();
    Board_Init();
    LPC_GPIO_PORT->B[LED_PORT][LED_PIN] = 0;

    // Turn on the timer clock
    LPC_SYSCTL->SYSAHBCLKCTRL |= CT_CLOCK_MASK;

    // Reset the timer
    LPC_TIMER16_0->TC = 1;
    LPC_TIMER16_0->TCR |= TCR_CRST_MASK;
    while (LPC_TIMER16_0->TC != 0) {}
    LPC_TIMER16_0->TCR &= ~(TCR_CRST_MASK);

    // Clear the interrupt register
    LPC_TIMER16_0->IR = IR_MR0INT_MASK;

    // Set the prescaler value
    // System core clock = 72MHz, the wanted T is 0,5ms => f = 2kHz
    // 72MHz / 2KHz = 36000
    LPC_TIMER16_0->PR = 36000;

    // Configure the counter to generate an interrupt on match and reset the TC value
    LPC_TIMER16_0->MCR |= (MCR_MR0I_MASK | MCR_MR0R_MASK);

    // Generate interrupt each 1s
    // Each TC increment takes exactly 0,5ms => 2000 * 0,5ms = 1s
    LPC_TIMER16_0->MR[0] = 2000;

    // Enable counting
    LPC_TIMER16_0->TCR |= TCR_CEN_MASK;

    // Configure NVIC registers - clear pending and enable IRQ
    NVIC->ICPR[NVIC_CT_INT_GROUP] = NVIC_CT_INT_MASK;
    NVIC->ISER[NVIC_CT_INT_GROUP] = NVIC_CT_INT_MASK;

    while (1) {
       __WFI();
    }

    return 0 ;
}

This works perfect but when I change line 

  LPC_TIMER16_0->MR[0] = 2000;

to

 LPC_TIMER16_0->MR[1] = 2000; // or MR[2]

and don't change anything else program still works. My question is why? I have configured to have interrupt when MR[0] match TC value... Does anyone know the answer?

Hi ,

Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products and 

for the opportunity to serve you.

After a brief review of code, I've not found something wrong yet, so I'd highly recommend you to check the values of the set of CT16B0 registers in the visual window when debugging the demo.

It's a good way to figure out the root cause of issue.
Have a great day,
TIC
