Unable to write FSMC registers

Hello!

My name is Peter and my hobby is electronics, programming and robotics. Recently I got interested in STM32 and decided to build my own evaluation board. Currently I have a problem with FSMC. I want to drive an LCD display through it, but I cannot change the registers' values. Of course the clock for FSMC is on. I have even tried to change them directly (manually) in coocox debug view,  with no result. Can You tell me, what I need to turn on (except the clock source) to be able to write these registers ? 

One more thing : I have checked the errata sheet, but i couldn't find my case there.

I almost fotgot  - my chip is STM32f103VCT6, and I have changed it today so it's not broken.

Greetings,

Peter

Think about presenting code.

Does the FSMC bit in AHBENR actually assert? There are members of the STM32F1 family that don't support FSMC

Try

RCC->AHBENR = 0xFFFFFFFF;

printf(''%08X\n'', RCC->AHBENR);

Thank You for reply.

Here's the code (I'm used to writing using the registers, not the SPL, but it's the first time I'm using FSMC so I decided to modify a function from example of NAND memory)

void
FSMC_NAND_Init(
void
)
{
GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIO_InitStructure;
FSMC_NANDInitTypeDef FSMC_NANDInitStructure;
FSMC_NAND_PCCARDTimingInitTypeDef p;
RCC_AHBPeriphClockCmd(RCC_AHBPeriph_FSMC, ENABLE);
RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_GPIOA | RCC_APB2Periph_GPIOB |
RCC_APB2Periph_GPIOC | RCC_APB2Periph_GPIOD |
RCC_APB2Periph_GPIOE , ENABLE);
/* CLE, D0-D3, NOE, NWE - NAND pin configuration*/
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_11 | GPIO_Pin_14 | GPIO_Pin_15 |
GPIO_Pin_0 | GPIO_Pin_1 | GPIO_Pin_4 | GPIO_Pin_5;
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_50MHz;
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_AF_PP;
GPIO_Init(GPIOD, &GPIO_InitStructure);
/* D4->D7 - NAND pin configuration */
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_7 | GPIO_Pin_8 | GPIO_Pin_9 | GPIO_Pin_10;
GPIO_Init(GPIOE, &GPIO_InitStructure);
/*-- FSMC Configuration ------------------------------------------------------*/
p.FSMC_SetupTime = 0x1;
p.FSMC_WaitSetupTime = 0x2;
p.FSMC_HoldSetupTime = 0x1;
p.FSMC_HiZSetupTime = 0x0;
FSMC_NANDInitStructure.FSMC_Bank = FSMC_Bank2_NAND;
FSMC_NANDInitStructure.FSMC_Waitfeature = FSMC_Waitfeature_Enable;
FSMC_NANDInitStructure.FSMC_MemoryDataWidth = FSMC_MemoryDataWidth_8b;
FSMC_NANDInitStructure.FSMC_ECC = FSMC_ECC_Disable;
FSMC_NANDInitStructure.FSMC_ECCPageSize = FSMC_ECCPageSize_8192Bytes;
FSMC_NANDInitStructure.FSMC_TCLRSetupTime = 0x00;
FSMC_NANDInitStructure.FSMC_TARSetupTime = 0x00;
FSMC_NANDInitStructure.FSMC_CommonSpaceTimingStruct = &p;
FSMC_NANDInitStructure.FSMC_AttributeSpaceTimingStruct = &p;
FSMC_NANDInit(&FSMC_NANDInitStructure);
/* FSMC NAND Bank Cmd Test */
FSMC_NANDCmd(FSMC_Bank2_NAND, ENABLE);
}

As You can see after initialization the registers stay untouched. But after Your piece of code the registers of RCC are all 1 as they should be : ''There are members of the STM32F1 family that don't support FSMC'' Actually I have checked it, and STM32f103VCT6 has the FSMC, so i don't know what I'm doing wrong.

May be it's the tool?

Suggest you read the FSMC Bank 2 register directly in your own code, and decode/decompose them there.

Thank You for reply!

Hmmm it seems You are right ! It has to be the tool, because the values of registers differ before and after writing to them. It's veird becasue I have tried another IDE - eclipse, ant there was the same problem. Anyway, I'll try to read them with keil, and I'll inform You of the results. 

Again thank You for this idea !

Can't you just print them out the console (USART or SWV), or copy to a memory array you can dump? Or do a memory (hex) view over the peripheral space instead of the peripheral viewer?

Hmmm that's a good idea too. I'll do as You say, but first i have to learn how to print the result in coocox ;)

It works ! :)
