LPC1769: SPI data problem when debugging

Hi

I'm having trouble using the Mbed SPI and SD functionality when debugging with the LPCXpresso (LPC1769).

When using the debug function the data comes out shifted.

I have measured the output using the bus pirate (because I can't use a scope at this moment) using this code to interface a 23LC1024 RAM chip:

#include "mbed.h"

//Instruction set
#define READ 0x03
#define WRITE 0x02
#define EDIO 0x3B
#define EQIO 0x38
#define RSTIO 0xFF
#define RDMR 0x05
#define WRMR 0x01

SPI serialMemory(P0_18, P0_17, P0_15); // mosi(J6-11), miso(J6-12), scl(J6-13)
DigitalOut CS(P0_16);//CS(J6-14)
DigitalOut Vcc(P0_23);//extra Vout (J6-15)

//setup
void SPIMEM_setup()
{
serialMemory.format(8, 0); //the memory module works in SPI mode 0: POL = 0 and PHA = 0
serialMemory.frequency(125000);

//Setup sequential mode: MODE REG = 0100 0000
CS.write(0);
//serialMemory.write(WRMR);
//serialMemory.write(0x40);
CS.write(1);
}

//single read from address(max 0x1FFFF)
int SPIMEM_readDataFromAddress(uint32_t address)
{
uint8_t receivedData;

CS.write(0);
serialMemory.write(READ);
serialMemory.write((uint8_t) (address >> 16) & 0xFF);
serialMemory.write((uint8_t) (address >> 8) & 0xFF);
serialMemory.write((uint8_t) (address) & 0xFF);
receivedData = serialMemory.write(0x00);
CS.write(1);

return receivedData;
}

//single write to address(max 0x1FFFF)
void SPIMEM_writeDataToAddress(uint32_t address, uint8_t data)
{
CS.write(0);
serialMemory.write(WRITE);
serialMemory.write((uint8_t) (address >> 16) & 0xFF);
serialMemory.write((uint8_t) (address >> 8) & 0xFF);
serialMemory.write((uint8_t) (address) & 0xFF);
serialMemory.write(data);
CS.write(1);
}

int main()
{
uint32_t i = 0;
uint32_t address = 0x1AAAA;
uint8_t data = 0xBB;
//Vcc.write(1);

SPIMEM_setup();

for (i = 0; i < 200; i++)
{
//CS.write(0);
//serialMemory.write(WRITE);
//serialMemory.write(0xAA);
//CS.write(1);
SPIMEM_writeDataToAddress(i, data);
SPIMEM_readDataFromAddress(i);
}
}

The strange thing is that after resetting (un-plugging en plugging the LPCXpresso back in) the code functions correctly.

Now, before this I also tested the SD functionality. This code doesn't run either when debugging but works perfectly when resetting the device!

Besides that I keep getting this error when starting a debug session:

Thanks for letting me know, I'm still using LPCXpresso 5, so this might be why its not functioning properly.
I'll look into it!

C and C++ are both supported development languages in LPCXpresso 6.

The address - 0x1fff0080 - that you are seeing makes it sound like your board is getting stuck in the built in bootloader. I would suspect a floating ISP pin.

I have not yet found a solution to this problem, but I understand that C++ isn't official supported. So to avoid further problems I stepped away from the LCPXpresso IDE and started using the Mbed online compiler, which functions perfectly.
