Teensy 4.1 Microcontroller Example Project 5.23 data format issue

Hello!

I'm working on interfacing an ADAU1701 processor (KABD250 board) with a Teensy 4.1 Microcontroller via I2C. I'm using the example microcontroller project provided by analog devices to get started: teensy_sigmadsp_example_project_1.1.0.zip. It seems to be going alright, but when I try to pass in negative coefficients to the FIR filters, the microcontroller seems to write incorrect values to the DSP. For example, when I pass in -.01, the actual value written to the DSP would be 31.9. Interestingly enough, I'm able to use the same exact example project with an ADAU1467 processor (evaluation board) over SPI and I was able to get correct DSP values.

I've asked around and done some digging and found out it may be related to the fact that the ADAU1701 is a 28bit core (instead of a 32 bit like the 1467) and uses a 5.23 data format. I created a forum post a few days ago if this gives more additional information: https://ez.analog.com/dsp/sigmadsp/...values-adau1467-vs-adau1701-comparison/537657. However, looking at the example project, I think that there are conditional statements that already convert the data format in this case. I did find a peculiar comment stating "NOTE: 5.23 not supported quite yet." in the SigmaStudioFW.h file. I checked the history of the example project and found out that it hasn't been updated in 2 years. I'm wondering if this comment is a cause for concern and whether there is a way to correctly pass in negative coefficients to the 1701. Also wondering if it's a DSP processor issue or the way the microcontroller is written for the 1701.

Any sort of help and ideas would be appreciated. Thank you very much!
