The ADS7843 is compatible with the XPT2046. They are used in many touchscreens. There are several links to code on the mbed site. Which one are you using? Here is one :

I was using that same library. I have a sainsmart LCD with that touch controller, and i cant get it to work. Well now im realising that even code as simple as setting a particular pin to pullup mode in the initialisation doesnt work (for the PENIRQ pin).

Using p21 for PENIRQ, measured voltage even after pullup (and disconnecting LCD) was a low. I cn enable pullup and read a high if i set the pin directly, but if i set it in the initialisation function it still reads low.
