[Sound-open-firmware] Reef, Minnowboard Max or Asus T100

Hello SOF Gurus,

This is Peter from ChromeOS@Google. I'm interested in the project and is trying to reproduce/ understanding from the main page https://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Firmware. I noticed that in the instruction, the topic is reef w/ 4.8 kernel version. Since I'm quite a newbie in this area, wondering from a learning perspective, what would be recommended hardware for this purpose ?

Will it be a bit more complicated to build / debug it with Reef (like kernel need to sign after build), or ASUS T100 (an Windows platform).

Looking forward for reply, itsPeter
