[ANNOUNCE] SOF 1.0 Release

[ANNOUNCE] SOF 1.0 Release

[Liam Girdwood]

I'd like to announce the 1.0 release of Sound Open Firmware (SOF) is
available for download on git.alsa-project.org. 

SOF is an open source BSD licensed audio DSP firmware that currently
runs on Cadence xtensa architecture DSPs found on Intel Baytrail,
Braswell and Cherrytrail based devices, however SOF is architecture and
platform independent meaning it's not tightly coupled to xtensa DSPs or
Intel CPUs/SoCs.

The 1.0 release supports limited playback and capture topologies
alongside volume, mixing and sample format conversion.

Information about SOF can be found on the ALSA SOF wiki here :-

https://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Firmware

Development for SOF 1.1 has started which will include support for
Haswell, Broadwell and Apollolake platform alongside support for SRC
and more complex topologies.

Do you plan for a classical tarball release, or it's only over git
repo?  I'm asking it since I'm considering to package for distro.


thanks,

I can create and host the tarballs on alsa-project.org. Liam, could you
add missing pieces to Makefile.am for 'make dist'?

Ah, this is missing some files as everyone's been using git, I'll fix
today.

Thanks

Good job! This is a very important cornerstone in being able to continue to
provide good out-of-the-box audio support for systems which feature this
kind of hardware. Thanks for all the effort you and everybody else who
worked on this have put into it.
