PCM5252: GUI software

As far as I know, there is no dedicated PPC publicly released for this part, you can use   "PurePath Console 2" that is  used for PCM5242 . From a performance perspective, this device is the same as the PCM5242.  The only difference is that it implements the SmartAMP functions for our class-D amplifiers.  Unless the customer is specifically interested in those features, we recommend they check out the PCM5242 and the PCM5242EVM.    Please also take a look at the following links with similar discussions :

In the above post you read that : ".........The PCM5242 and PCM5252 are nearly identical devices, with the PCM5252 having some slightly modified DSP ROM components to support it 'SmartAmp' functionality.  These features are very specific for speaker characterization applications, so in general the PCM5242 should be used a more versatile device.  In addition, the SmartAmp features are not publicly supported by the PurePath software ecosystem, and we do not sell an EVM for the PCM5252.  For these reasons you should be using the PCM5242. ........"
