Hugo,
How do you know you've started the timer if you never see it increment?
What values are you setting the control registers to?
Some simple code:
// Reset timer:
*T0_ctrl = 0;
// Setup timer function as external counter:
*T0_ctrl = C3X_TIMER_CLKSRC_EXT | C3X_TIMER_FUNC_TIMER;
// Reset counter and period register:
*T0_prd = -1; // maximum value so no overflow.
*T0_count = 0;
// Start counter:
*T0_ctrl |= C3X_TIMER_GO | C3X_TIMER_NHLD;
where
#define C3X_TIMER_TSTAT 0x00000800
#define C3X_TIMER_INV 0x00000400
#define C3X_TIMER_CLKSRC_INT 0x00000200
#define C3X_TIMER_CLKSRC_EXT 0x00000000
#define C3X_TIMER_C_NP 0x00000100
#define C3X_TIMER_NHLD 0x00000080
#define C3X_TIMER_GO 0x00000040
#define C3X_TIMER_DATIN 0x00000008
#define C3X_TIMER_DATOUT 0x00000004
#define C3X_TIMER_NI_O 0x00000002
#define C3X_TIMER_FUNC_TIMER 0x00000001
#define C3X_TIMER_FUNC_IO 0x00000000
and
#define T0_ctrl ((volatile unsigned long *) 0x808020L) /* TIM0 gl
control */
#define T0_count ((volatile unsigned long *) 0x808024L) /* TIM0 count
*/
#define T0_prd ((volatile unsigned long *) 0x808028L) /* TIM0 prd
*/
Hope this helps.
Bill
