[En-Nut-Discussion] NutOS (trunk) causes freeze

The thing that comes closest is the SysTick timer that is present in the
LPC177x_8x MCU. But that one only contains one counter and resides on a
different address then your recent CORTEX modification contains:

0xE000E010 CTRL 
0xE000E014 LOAD (your CYCCNT)
0xE000E018 VAL
0xE000E01C CALIB

The addresses you use in your CORTEX modification (now: MCU_STM32
modification) are in a reserved area of the LPC MCU. Might explain the
freeze.....?

Can you point me to the DWT description in the user manual? I have here the
UM10470 (LPC178x/7x) user manual and that one doesn't know about a Data
Watchpoint and Trace Unit (DWT)..... 

I know that
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.ddi0337h/BIIFBHI
F.html describes this module as being a part of Cortex M3 but at the same
time they state that it is a _configurable_ option (just like trace cells,
MPU etc). Again, I can't find this module in our LPC.... but I might
overlook something? 

Groeten,

Rob
