PN7462 HostIF UART RX interrupt issue on custom board – false HSU_RX_FER interrupt at boot and no RX

I am using PN7462 HostIF in UART (HSU) mode. The same firmware and pin configuration work correctly on the PN7462 evaluation board, but on a custom board TX works while RX callbacks are not triggered. I also observe HSU_RX_FER_STATUS interrupts immediately after boot, even when no host data is transmitted.

Below is my current HostIF UART initialization configuration:

Interface: E_HIF_HSU
Baud rate: E_HSU_BAUDRATE_9_6K
Stop bits: 1
Dummy bytes: 0
EOF: 0
Timeout: 0
Buffer type: E_BUFFER_FORMAT_FREE
Short frame length: 0
Store error data: 0
Header size: 0

Initialization flow:

phhalHif_Init(&gHifConfig, Hif_UartErrorCallback)
phhalHif_InitRxBuffer(E_RX_BUFFER_ID0, ..., Hif_UartRxCallback)

Could someone verify whether this configuration is sufficient for UART RX operation?

Specifically:

Is any additional interrupt configuration required apart from phhalHif_Init() and phhalHif_InitRxBuffer()?
Do HostIF interrupts need to be explicitly enabled or cleared before initialization?
Is additional NVIC/IRQ configuration required for RX callbacks?
Is E_BUFFER_FORMAT_FREE appropriate for UART communication, or should another buffer format be used?
Could missing interrupt configuration explain why RX callbacks are not triggered while TX works correctly?
Is repeated HSU_RX_FER_STATUS at startup an indication of incorrect initialization or hardware configuration?

Any guidance on recommended HostIF UART initialization or interrupt setup would be appreciated.

Thanks.
