Thank you everyone for clearing the doubt.

If in continuous mode, yes => "sure" not "maybe" :-)

Right. On most controllers the peripherals continue while the core is
halted.

Does that mean T1TC will continue counting even during the breakpoint?
if so, will the Timer ISR been called since the T1TC still counting?

So is this because the breakpoint only stop the ARM core, but not the
peripheral, so T1TC will continue counting, but no interrupt will be
called because the ARM cores is halt?

T1TC after 0xFFFFFFFF is 0x0 isn't it? => "maybe" ;-)

You got it. Isn't it obvious ? You could have checked it easily with the
debugger => no "maybe".

l... napisa(a):

[...]
void Timer1_ISR(void)
{
T1IR |= T1IR_MR0; //clear irq
++g_tmr1_ctr;
T1MR0 += ONE_MS_CTR;
}

The main different is the T1MR0 register. For method1, whenever
Timer interrupt occur, T1MR0 will reset to 0. But for method2, T1MR0
will not reset but it will be updated by adding ONE_MS_CTR which is
number PCLKs for 1ms.

My problem is method1 working fine during breakpoint and after
breakpoint. But for method2, after a breakpoint, Timer interrupt seem
to stop working for a couple of minutes then resume back. Anyone can
explain why is this happen?

If you break before line:

T1MR0 += ONE_MS_CTR;

then maybe T1TC > T1MR0

and it take long time to next equal.

I had been working on LPC2214 and LPC213x/4x for some time. I use
timer as internal counting quite often. I faced a weird problem which
I don't know why it happened.

I have 2 methods. Method1 and Method2. Both Timer1 declaration as
follow.
a. Method 1
#define ONE_MS_CTR 27647
void Timer1_Init(void)
{
cpu_time = 0;
g_tmr1_ctr = 0;
T1TC = 0x00; //Clear Timer Counter
T1PR = 0x00; //No prescaler
T1MCR |= (T1MCR_MR0I); //enable interrupt
T1MCR |= (T1MCR_MR0R); //reset TIMRx when interrupt
T1MR0 = ONE_MS_CTR; //interrupt every 1ms / 1us in MAT1.1
T1TCR = 0x01; //enable timer counter
}

void Timer1_ISR(void)
{
T1IR |= T1IR_MR0; //clear irq
++g_tmr1_ctr;
}

b. Method 2
#define ONE_MS_CTR 27647
void Timer1_Init(void)
{
cpu_time = 0;
g_tmr1_ctr = 0;
T1TC = 0x00; //Clear Timer Counter
T1PR = 0x00; //No prescaler
T1MCR |= (T1MCR_MR0I); //enable interrupt
T1MCR &=~ (T1MCR_MR0R); //disable reset T1MRx when interrupt
T1MR0 = ONE_MS_CTR; //interrupt every 1ms / 1us in MAT1.1
T1TCR = 0x01; //enable timer counter
}

void Timer1_ISR(void)
{
T1IR |= T1IR_MR0; //clear irq
++g_tmr1_ctr;
T1MR0 += ONE_MS_CTR;
}

The main different is the T1MR0 register. For method1, whenever
Timer interrupt occur, T1MR0 will reset to 0. But for method2, T1MR0
will not reset but it will be updated by adding ONE_MS_CTR which is
number PCLKs for 1ms.

My problem is method1 working fine during breakpoint and after
breakpoint. But for method2, after a breakpoint, Timer interrupt seem
to stop working for a couple of minutes then resume back. Anyone can
explain why is this happen?

I am using Rowley and the target MCU is 2214 and 2131.
