SPI & I2C....NOT GETTING CLOCK OUTPUT

hi,
i am trying with SPI code provided for LPC2138 provided on philips
site.but its strange that i am not able to observe the clock output on
CRO. i have tried with a resistor connected in series with clock
output before connecting on CRO probe.also i have provided high to the
SSEL pin of LPC2138 to configure to as master. now i m observing clock
output on its SPICLK pin with common ground.
but i am getting noise signal only.

same problem is with I2C also.
i think problem is not with the code .so please suggest any other
possibility of error that you suspect.

please help ................i am stuck with this problem for many
days.and i am thus not able to proceed with my application further.

is there a port configuration register which will set the alternate use of 
the pins you are trying to use? DO the default to the proper modes for your 
test?

hi
thanks for your reply
yes there is a configuration register for pinouts PINSEL that i hav
configured for my SPI operation.so i dont think there could be any
mistake as such

And is there also a data direction register in which you have set the
appropriate pins to be outputs?

yes there is also a data direction register IODIR .in that i hav
configured spiclk pin as output.

Not relevant.  PINSEL does that for you, as long as you don't select GPIO  
for these pins.

hi,

please help me out.

i am still not able to get the clock output of SPI.
 And i am not able to find its possible cause
thank you

I don't think PINSEL selects the direction, only the function (at least
on the data sheet I've seen). There has to be a way to mode the clock as
an input or an output, depending on whether you have a bus master or a
slave.  

OP:  Do you have the SPI moded as a bus _master_?  Are you using a scope
that would show you a single event?  Do you have it triggered correctly? 
Are you seeing any error status from the SPI?  Are you getting a chip
select?

yes there is IODIR register for that.

yes SPI is configured for master operation.yes the scope could be set
to trace single
events also.

but what do you mean by triggering it correctly ??
what is the use for chip select when spi is configured for master
operation already.
what error status?? i am polling on master side.

No!  It isn't.  LPC213x User Manual (rev. 01), page 74:
"The direction control bit in the IO0DIR register is effective only when  
the GPIO
function is selected for a pin."

To let the scope do the work of detecting interesting signal levels.
