Lately, I have been scratching my head to get the LPC2148 USB 
device pass the USBCV test downloaded from "http://www.usb.org".

Using latest Keil's USB MSC sample, v1.04, the enumeration test 
will fail from time to time, and program would spin in the 
WrCmd() or WrCmdDat() routine forever.

While I was looking into the WrCmd(), WrCmdDat() and RdCmdDat()
routine and ISR carefully, Keil just found one problem that could
screw up the USB protocol engine.

In the USB device block, the registers are located in the VPB
clock domain, which requires minimum 18Mhz PCLK. in the original 
MSC example, PCLK uses the default value 1/4 of CCLK = 15Mhz in
the startup.s. That has probably caused most of the intermitten 
problems in these Wr/RdCmdDat() modules. The PCLK should be set
to >= 18Mhz.

I think that Keil will release a new version of these
example based on the fixes soon. I am just glad that I am 
finally able to use the latest fixes to pass all the compliance
test. So, I pass around to those who had problems with the
LPC2148 USB driver:

   Do the following steps:
   (1) in startup.s, set: 
    VPBDIV_SETUP    EQU     1
    VPBDIV_Val      EQU     0x00000001 ; PCLK is set to CCLK 60Mhz

   (2) In usbhw.c, modify these modules, WrCmd(), WrCmdDat(), 
and RdCmdDat() as below:

/*
 *  Write Command
 *    Parameters:      cmd:   Command
 *    Return Value:    None
 */

void WrCmd (DWORD cmd) {

  DEV_INT_CLR = CCEMTY_INT;
  CMD_CODE = cmd;
  while ((DEV_INT_STAT & CCEMTY_INT) == 0);
}

/*
 *  Write Command Data
 *    Parameters:      cmd:   Command
 *                     val:   Data
 *    Return Value:    None
 */

void WrCmdDat (DWORD cmd, DWORD val) {

  DEV_INT_CLR = CCEMTY_INT;
  CMD_CODE = cmd;
  while ((DEV_INT_STAT & CCEMTY_INT) == 0);
  DEV_INT_CLR = CCEMTY_INT;
  CMD_CODE = val;
  while ((DEV_INT_STAT & CCEMTY_INT) == 0);
}

/*
 *  Read Command Data
 *    Parameters:      cmd:   Command
 *    Return Value:    Data Value
 */

DWORD RdCmdDat (DWORD cmd) {

  DEV_INT_CLR = CCEMTY_INT | CDFULL_INT;
  CMD_CODE = cmd;
  while ((DEV_INT_STAT & CDFULL_INT) == 0);
  return (CMD_DATA);
}

    (3) in usbhw.c, in the interrupt handler, USB_ISR(), 
comment out "DEV_INT_CLR = CDFULL_INT;" as seen below:
          ...
          EP_INT_CLR = 1 << n;
          while ((DEV_INT_STAT & CDFULL_INT) == 0);
          val = CMD_DATA;
//          DEV_INT_CLR = CDFULL_INT;

          if ((n & 1) == 0) {              /* OUT Endpoint */
            if (n == 0) {                  /* Control OUT Endpoint */
              if (val & EP_SEL_STP) {      /* Setup Packet */
                if (USB_P_EP[0]) {
                  USB_P_EP[0](USB_EVT_SETUP);
                  continue;
                }
              }
            }

That will probably address many intermitten problems seen in the
past. Meanwhile, we are working hard to improve our documentation
in the USB chapter.

Tom
