Problem solved - I am embarrassed :)

I had the define _DEBUG_RAM instead of _DEBUG_FLASH defined.

Thanks for your help.

I have noticed an additional behavior. When I create a timer and
enable it, (the timer uses interrupt), the timer "freezes" the LPC,
before the interrupt handler function was entered. If I create a timer
and do not start (enable) it, the LPC is running fine.

It seems that I am having some sort of problem with interrupts
handling. (btw - I am using PLL but not MAM, if this helps) Can anyone
help?

Best regards,

Id do this:
PINSEL0 &= ~(0x000000f0);
PINSEL0 |= 0x000000050;

Here my code loops:
while ( (UnLSR (CNF_DRUID_UNIT) & UART_LSR_RDR) ){
c = (__u8)UnRBR (CNF_DRUID_UNIT);
rxisr (c);
}

Unless the noted, I see no difference.

What happens if you let it run from reset with debugger ?

I am trying to add UART communication to my project and am having some
problems. I am using UART interrupts. Here is the UART initialization
code:

PINSEL0 = 0x00000050;
U0LCR = 0x83;
Fdiv = ( Fpclk / 16 ) / baudrate ;
U0DLM = Fdiv / 256;
U0DLL = Fdiv % 256;
U0LCR = 0x03;
U0FCR = 0x07;
U0IER = 3;
install_irq( UART0_INT, (void *)uart0_irq, HIGHEST_PRIORITY );

The (simplifed) interrupt handler routine is as follows:

void uart0_irq (void) __irq {
char dummy;
while (((IIR = U0IIR) & 0x01) == 0) {
switch (IIR & 0x0E) {
case 0x06:
dummy = U0LSR;
break;
case 0x04:
case 0x0C:
LastReceivedChar = U0RBR;
break;
case 0x02:
break;
}
}
VICVectAddr = 0; /* Acknowledge Interrupt */
}

By simplifying my program to simply echo all characters received, I
observe the following:

- after I reprogram the LPC (using FlashMagic), and start the program
for the first time, the echo program behaves OK
- after I hard-reset the LPC, my main while(1) loop runs OK until I
send a first character over UART from PC to LPC; then the LPC stop
running (the UART0 interrupt routine is not even entered)

I thought this had to do with spurious interrupts, but I found a
document saying that spurious interrupts problem has been solved on
LPC23xx series, and the VicDefVectAddr register is not even available
on LPC23xx MCUs.

What do I need to do to have proper interrupts on UART0?

Thanks,
