v2.12

v2.12

The SOF technical steering committee is pleased to announce the v2.12 release of SOF.

Signed binaries for selected platforms are here https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin/releases (sof-bin-2025.01).

Highlights

• New platforms: NXP IMX95
• Zephyr RTOS support added: AMD ACP6.0, MediaTek 8195/86/88
• HIFI5 optimization added to multiple components: IIR core, ARIA and volume
• Zephyr loadable module (LLEXT) support extended in SOF with capability to handle libraries of loadable modules.
• Support added to mark module functions as "cold", allowing code to be run directly from DRAM and save on SRAM usage on platforms supporting the feature.
• Topology: support for new product configurations for Intel LNL/ARL/MTL and NXP IMX95.
• Topology: microphone (IIR and DRC) and speaker processing (IIR, FIR and DRC) added to Intel DSP topologies with Soundwire codecs. This builds on similar support added to HDA codec based topologies added in SOF v2.11 release.
• And as with any new release, SOF 2.12 includes multiple bug fixes and optimizations to enhance overall performance and stability.
