LPC1343 UART Not working in real hardware but working in Keil Simulator?

[xpress_embedo]

Hello!! I am using Keil IDE along with MDK Compiler for ARM LPC1343 Programming.
I want to send some data on UART using LPC1343, i write a code but it is not working on Real Hardware, when i tried to debug it in Keil Simulator it works fine, what might be the problem, can anyone please help me.

Here is my Code:-

NOTE:- My Development Board is Ok, as i had tested it with Code written in CoIDE and GNU ARM Compiler, but it consist of UART drivers.

After some R&D i found something new, I just replaced the startup_lpc13xx.s and system_lpc13xx.c files provided with Development Board Sample Code and my code works fine without any change.
I think startup_lpc13xx.s and system_lpc13xx.c must be same, i am not able to find any difference, can anyone please help me now.

Files are attached below, please help

If you look closely, you will notice that they're not the same.
On the one that is not working the PLL startup routine is incorrect.
Look at lines 397 to 401 in system_LPC13xx.c of the working code and lines 389 to 391 of the not working one - it is missing a few lines in the PLL start up sequence. I believe the error is there.

Thanks a lot but why it is so.

The working file is 2 year older than the Not Working File.
And i am using latest Keil Compiler and had copied the file directly from installation folder then why it is not working, can you please help me in this regard, i am new to arm and its really very complex for me.

I've been using the code supplied by NXP with the LPCXpresso, so I can only guess why one works while the other does not.

The datasheet states:
"In order for the update to take effect" after switching PLL input source "first write a zero to the SYSPLLUEN register and then write a one to SYSPLLUEN."

So it is not clear why it is necessary to write a 1, and only then a 0 and a 1 again, like is implemented in the working code. Also, it is not explicit that one would have to wait until it reads 1 from the register. It looks like the new file exactly follows the datasheet, leaving out those extras that are not obvious.

I'm also new to this and maybe those 'extras' are common practices while dealing with this kind of processes.

LPC1343 UART Not working in real hardware but working in Keil

before you config uart use below commond:

LPC_SYSCON->SYSAHBCLKCTRL|= 1<<16;

I hope you would successful!!!
