I don't plan any new release on ALSA FTP. Intel releases signed firmware files on github now:
Hi Jaroslav; many thanks for the fast response. It does seem that the Github version is missing a number of files that are present in your FTP version. I'd just like to check this doesn't represent a loss of functionality?
My FTP packages also include all unsigned firmware files compiled with gcc. They are unusable for the most Intel platforms where only signed firmware files can be loaded to DSP (security).
Those files are probably good for the development platforms, but they do not have much value for the general Linux distros at the moment. I assume that developers can compile own versions.
BTW: Fixed topology files for v1.5 (generic sof hda):
https://www.alsa-project.org/files/pub/misc/sof/sof-bin-topology-1.5-dmic-20...
Use this on top of the sof-bin repo / v1.5 branch if you like. It seems that the fix in sof-bin is delayed.

Many thanks again, Paul

Paul, I can confirm the sof-bin is the definitive location to get the SOF binaries.

We also now have a stable release 1.4.3 available: https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin/tree/stable-v1.4.3
... this helps to fix the freeze issue seen on some laptops with SOF 1.4.2 (e.g. https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/issues/1917 Paul you've reported).
1.5.1 is indeed delayed. We are trying to expedite the process.
Br, Kai

Many thanks both for confirming the new source. I notice that the old FTP package contains the following .ri and .ldc files that are not present in the new Github repo:
sof-hsw sof-imx8 sof-jsl sof-kbl sof-skl sof-sue
I'd just like to double-check that shipping the new package without these files won't lead to reduced functionality?
Many thanks again, Paul

It's a clean-up indeed.
sof-hsw
No longer supported (and no commercial platforms known to use the DSP)
sof-imx8
This would need to be provided by NXP. Each company is responsible for providing the firmware for their platforms.
sof-jsl
Not fully supported upstream, but indeed we need to check this one. Liam?
sof-kbl sof-skl
Not supported.
sof-sue
I don't think this was ever supported outside of Intel
I'd just like to double-check that shipping the new package without these files won't lead to reduced functionality?
we'll check this JSL (JasperLake) firmware but for existing platforms this looks fine.
