TDA2EVM5777: TDA2 with 12-bits sensor input & TIDL 12-bits input

Part Number: TDA2EVM5777

Hello,

I've a question regarding using an image sensors that can output 12 bits image buffer. My questions are:

(1.) Is TDA2 capable of reading buffer from a sensor that can outputs single channel 12 bits images?

(2.) According to a coworker of mine, in default, TIDL takes unsigned char buffer as input.  Can TIDL use other data type such as float?

Thanks a lot,

Wei Chih
