IWRL6432: OS-CFAR Supported?

Hi,

I have been researching whether the IWRL6432 supports OS-CFAR and seem to have found some conflicting information:

Documentation on the HWA found here: https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swru527a/swru527a.pdf?ts=1737037471478&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F, says that there is no OS-CFAR support.
The user guide for the TI SDK (we are using 5.04.01) does not give an option for OS-CFAR and the SDK itself asserts if the OS-CFAR option (which exists as a define in the SW) is chosen.
On the other hand the IWRL6432 technical documentation states that OS-CFAR is supported and gives register setting instructions for its use.

Is OS-CFAR support for this platform? Is it supported in a more recent SDK? Is the implementation for this functionality still in the works?

Thanks for your time.

Hello.

Let me look into this; you are using an older version of the SDK, I would move to 5.5 and see if it has any support for OS-CFAR. It may also be that there is HW support but not software support for this feature, but let me double check on this and provide an update by the end of the day tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Santosh

Hello Yohannes.

Apologies for the delay in update; my response did not get sent through last week and I just noticed this. OS-CFAR is supported on the 6432; the document you were referencing indicating that it does not support it is for an older version of the HW accelerator, and the newer version does support OS-CFAR.

Sincerely,

Santosh
