Timer configuration problem LPC 1769

Hello,

I'm really new to microcontrollers and I have problems with setting up a timer (timer 0 in my case)  and interrupt. For Example the prescaler, I think I didn't set it right. I want to set the prescaler to 1 ms. Is 1000-1 then right? I cannot imagine it works on only 1 Mhz. I think I made multiple mistakes in the basic configuration. Could anyone modify this to right code or help me out?

Thanks a lot

Your PCLK speed for Timer0 is CCLK divided by 1, 2, 4 or 8 depending on the value in the PCLK_TIMER0 bits in the PCLKSEL0 register (see Table 40 and 42).

The value of CCLK depends on the PLL settings you have used in your clock configuration. You can find all of the relevant formulae in Chapter 4: LPC17xx Clocking and power control. As an example, the default Oberon initialisation code we use for development boards with a 12Mhz crystal as the clock source is:

 

NSEL := 0;
  CCLKSEL := 3;
  MSEL := 11;
  Fcco := (2 * 12000000 * (MSEL + 1)) DIV (NSEL + 1);
  CCLK := Fcco DIV (CCLKSEL + 1);
  PCLK := CCLK DIV 4;

That results in CCLK = 72Mhz and PCLK = 18Mhz

Thank you. Could you tell me what the PCLK speed is? I could not find it in the use manual. Do you mind taking a look?

If you want a delay of 1 msec then you should set the prescale register to (PCLK / 1000) - 1 where PCLK is your peripheral clock speed. Watch out for rounding / truncation issues if PCLK is not a multiple of 1000.
