I am new to FastFT and have to do project at my new job.

I have to do a 1024 point FFT.
The sample memory is 128k
1024*128 = 131072

There are 131072 samples I am processing.

I have figured it out to that I have to do 8 Radix-4 calculations and 1
Radix-2 calculation.
4^8 = 65,536.0
2*4^8 = 131,072.0

I however am unsure about ordering of operations.

Is it as simple as?:

R4 > R4 > R4 > R4 > R4 > R4 > R4 > R4 > R2 > "Re-order outputs"

Any help and or feedback would be really appreciated.

I think you are looking at the problem with some unwarranted
assumptions. What benefit do you suppose using two radices confers?

Is the sample memory all the memory available to you? In-place FFTs are
more difficult than buffer-to-buffer. (I don't know offhand how to
program one.)

You don't tell us what processor you use, what memory resources
(including disk) you have, what your time requirements are, or what
language you program in.

Sorry, allow me to be more clear.

I am doing 2 FFT's.

FFT1 is N=1024
FFT2 is N=131072

I am using a TMS320VC33.
The SRAM I will have available to me will likely be 256kx32.
I am not doing the sampling but the data being sent to me is sampled at
10khz. What I am looking for is near 5kHz

for the first FFT I believe I have to do a single Radix-4 computation.

for the second FFT I believe I have to do (8) Radix-4's and (1) Radix-2 to
cover the number of data points. Is there a specific order I have to
handle the cascade?

Thank you,
Daniel

A lovely low-power processor. :-)

We're even; I wasn't clear either. How does the appropriate radix depend
on the size of the data set?

Aside from working memory, you will need 262.144K to have separate input
and output arrays, more than available. So you seem to be constrained to
an in-place algorithm. Have you checked TI's application notes?

I am receiving 32bit data packets with 24bit data inside. I will convert
the 24bit data to 32 bit floating point.

The radix-2/4 methods are what I am trying to learn I have no other reason
to use them other then the fact that I am using the DSK compiler that came
with this old development board. And I really dont know how to use it
(environment), let alone if there is an FFT library function and how it
works. I barely got it to run and compile and run some code on the board
(its fairly old and bad).
