C28x Floating Point Unit Library FFT size limits

EricM
Prodigy 140 points

I'm using the C28X Floating Point Unit Library, specifically a call to RFFT_f32u.  I can successfully make the call with an FFT size of 512 (9 fft stages) or smaller.  If I try a larger FFT, like 1024 (10 fft stages),  I get 1.#INF for the output array.  Can the RFFT_f32u accept fft sizes of 1024, 2048, or 4096?

 Thanks,

Eric

    Eric,

     

    From looking at the documentation provided with the FFT library, it appears the RFFT supports up to a size of 512 as provided. This explains why the larger sizes do not function properly.

    Hi Tim,

    I agree that the documentation shows benchmark information up to 512 point ffts.  I was taking a look at the assembly source and noticed an comment in both RFFT_f32.asm, and RFFT_f32u.asm:

     at approx line 66 or 70:

    ;  | I8 | (COS*((I8 - I7) - (I5 - I6)) + (I4 - I3)          )/8 -> | I8'|
    ;     .
    ;     .
    ;    \|/
    ; Repeat above FFTSize/8 (i.e. if FFTSize = 1024, Repeat = 128 times)
    ;

     It looks like 1024 and larger ffts aren't ruled out.

    As a follow up: I was able to do a 4096 fft, it was user error on my part, causing it not to appear to work.

    Hello,

    First off i am trying to get the floating point library to work, i'm having problems building the project properly.  I have read the C28x FPU Library Beta1 pdf but it doesn't really tell me how to start.  I can build the project but I don't have a .out file to load the program.

    Is there more documentation on a step by step procedure? I'm trying to take my analog signal (0-2MHz) from ADC channel 0 store it in a buffer and do an FFT on it.  From what i understand i may have to flip flop between 2 buffers in order to accomplish this in real time.

    I plan to sample at 4.17MHz and do a 4096 point FFT.  So if i could get some help to get started that would be greatly appreciated.

    Eric,
    I'm curious to know what solved your problem since I am also looking to do a 4096 point FFT with the FPU Library.

    Thanks,

    Trent,

    I don't remember what that exact issue was, but I think it was something like my array sizes were too small, I think I also had to increase the stack size (but that may have been for another issue)

    I set 8192 points size. It's work. See bug on your side.

    Hi Timur, could you tell me how to modify the program to sucessfully compute a FFT which size is larger than 1024?

    I am running the FFT lib but still get no result.

    I read the documentation carefully and noticed that the input data format for several functions are, say, in Q14 format,so that means I should do some pre-work to modify the input data  format from ADC modul?

    FFT work with 1024 points, and don't work with more point? Do you use floating point library or fixed point?

    I don't work with FFT several month and this area not in my head now.
