Sound Open Firmware (SOF) is a host and DSP architecture agnostic audio DSP firmware. SOF is not tied to any specific host architecture or any specific physical IO communication type (it will work with on SoC DSPs, or DSP connected via SPI/I2C).

SOF is also not coupled to any particular DSP architecture and has abstraction similar to Linux to allow porting to other DSP architectures.

This patch series introduces the SOF core, later series will add host platform support for SOF.

The SOF core manages all the core DSP services and ALSA/ASoC IO. The core is responsible for loading firmware, parsing topology, exposing PCMs and kcontrols, providing debug and trace mechanisms and performing IPC between host and DSP.

The SOF core also has logic to allow reuse of existing machine drivers for other platforms/machines without any code modification. i.e. DAI links can be modified at runtime to bind with SOF and SOF topologies instead of existing hard coded DAI links and topology.
