PCM5252 and PCM5242

Hi,
I'd like to hear from people that worked with those DAC's.
My first question is how do you program them without an EVM?(I know about the SPI/I2C interface ,but my question is related to the Instruction Set or how do i use the DAC's DSP).
PurePath seems to want an EVM otherwise it won't spit out the cfg file or create the configuration instructions to be sent.

Second is where can i find an Instruction ISA handbook or documentation for the mini DSP core?
Let's say i have the Z-Transform/Transforms for my digital filter/filters,I load it into the coefficient memory.How do i specify the summation operations etc. and witch coefficients to some with whom or implement the Z^-1 delays?

Also do i have a chance of making PCM5252 work with the SmartAmp functionality without an EVM?
I understood the PCM5252 ROM has the algorithm loaded,i presume in some of those RESERVED pages of instructions.However i found 0 documentation explicating the memory map other than the general layout.(i only found the datasheet)

Feels like the only tool i have to work with is PurePath ,but support is not available("oficially") for PCM5252.

Worst case i'll use them as pure DAC's and do the DSP on a Cortex M-4 ,but i feel like i paid for features i won't use then.
