Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : alsa-sof-firmware Version : 1.5 Upstream Author : sound-open-firmw...@alsa-project.org * URL : https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin * License : Intel Limited/BSD Programming Lang: firmware Description : Intel SOF audio firmware and topology
These are the SOF firmware and topology files needed to get the audio working on many modern Intel CPUs (whiskeylake, cometlake etc) With the SOF driver enabled (which it currently is in debian the kernel will load these firmware files at boot and the topology files are used by ALSA for configuring audio The firmware needs to end up in /lib/firmware/intel/sof as sof-cnl.ri etc. On Fedora when they created the package they have - sof/intel-signed - has the intel signed .ri files in - sof/public-signed - has non-intel signed .ri files - sof/*.ri - symbolic links to the intel-signed versions The topology files end up in /lib/firmware/intel/sof-tplg I know this impacts Lenovo's X1C7 and many of Lenovo's 2020 platforms but I expect it to impact other vendors too. I'm not an expert and recommend talking to the SOF community for any questions but I can provide assistance with testing and if there are other ways to help out please let me know - I would like to contribute Thanks Mark Pearson (Lenovo)
