v2024.03

The tar ball includes latest binaries of FW, tool and topology for all Intel released platforms, by combining:

• SOF v2.9 FW binaries. For older Intel platforms, FW from v2.2 stable.
• SOF v2.9 tools. For older Intel platforms, tools from v2.2 stable.
• SOF v2.9 DSP topologies. For older Intel platforms, topologies matching v2.2.9.

New DSP topologies added

For v2.9 series, the following new topology files have been added since v2.8:

v2.9.x/sof-ipc4-tplg-v2.9
├── sof-hda-generic-ace1-2ch.tplg
├── sof-hda-generic-ace1-4ch.tplg
├── sof-hda-generic-cavs25-2ch.tplg
├── sof-hda-generic-cavs25-4ch.tplg
├── sof-mtl-es83x6-ssp1-hdmi-ssp02.tplg
├── sof-mtl-hdmi-ssp02.tplg

For v2.2.8 series, the following new topology files have been added since v2.2.8

v2.2.x/sof-tplg-v2.2.9
├── sof-adl-es8336-ssp1-hdmi-ssp02-4ch.tplg
└── sof-adl-sdw-cs42l42-4ch.tplg

Notes for distributions maintainers

This package replaces "/lib/firmware/intel/sof-ace-tplg" folder with a symlink to "/lib/firmware/intel/sof-ipc4-tplg". This is done in accordance with topology naming guidelines in https://thesofproject.github.io/latest/getting_started/intel_debug/introduction.html#user-space-and-filesystem-requirements and the note for Intel Meteor Lake platforms.

Notes for older Intel platforms

For Intel products based on cAVS2.5 hardware (Tiger Lake, Alder Lake and Raptor Lake), this release provides binaries based on both newer SOF v2.9 as well as older SOF v2.2 binaries.

As the system requirements (e.g. for Linux kernel version) are different for the new v2.9 binaries (compared to old v2.2 based binaries), by default the old binaries will be used. Only if system has sufficiently new version of Linux kernel, user configures the kernel to use IPC4 on these platforms (e.g. via "snd_sof_pci.ipc_type" module parameter) and a IPC4-ready topology is available for the system, will the new firmware be loaded.

Please see the firmware version table at https://thesofproject.github.io/latest/getting_started/intel_debug/introduction.html#user-space-and-filesystem-requirements for reference.
