TAS5825M: Usage without EVM

Part Number: TAS5825M
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TAS5828M

Tool/software:

I would like to use the TAS5825M or TAS5828M without purchasing the EVM for PurePath (PPC3). I am aware that I cannot use certain features like the SmartAmp since they need to characterise the speaker with the EVM but i am willing to not use those features. Therefore I have two questions:

  1. Is it possible to use these devices on a custom PCB without using PPC3 at all, therefore completely without all DSP features of the device?
  2. Is it possible to use PPC3 for certain specific features, such as EQs, and creating a config file that I can upload to the device via I2C without purchasing an EVM?

Thank you already in advance.
