I am testing different FFT sizes and comparing the fft_real32x32() output against my reference FFT data. I am seeing the FFT output matches for 128, 512 and 2048 points , but does not match for 64, 256 and 1024 points . My question is: How should I correctly interpret/compensate the RFFT output for different FFT sizes and the returned fft_shifts value? Is there any additional normalization or scaling required when comparing the HiFi5 fft_real32x32() output with a floating-point/reference FFT? Also, has anyone observed this kind of behavior where:T he FFT output matches for 128, 512 and 2048 points with fft_real32x32() / ifft_real32x32() on HiFi5? Any guidance on the correct FFT/IFFT scaling interpretation would be appreciated. Platform: Xtensa HiFi5 Library: NatureDSP HiFi5 Functions: fft_real32x32() / ifft_real32x32() Scaling option: 3 Thanks.https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/c-sup/f/c-sup-champion/66308/celebrating-august-2026-community-championThu, 03 Sep 2026 16:52:00 GMT75bcbcf9-38a3-4e2e-b84b-26c8c46a9500:203949d5-5678-4c3e-b5bb-3ca69d28c269Renu VibhaShoutout to BB202608098129 , our top Contributor for August 2026 !
