Getting Started Guides

Refer to the following getting started guides if you are new to SOF or if you are performing a task for the first time.

Build SOF

SOF can be built natively on a host PC or within a container. Use the container method if the version of your distro is more than six months old. The SOF SDK uses a recent version of some external dependencies so the current distro release is always preferred.

• Build SOF from scratch
• Build SOF with Docker
• Build SOF with a 3rd Party Toolchain
• Build SOF with Zephyr

Set up SOF on hardware

SOF runs on a variety of devices with varying audio capabilities so instructions may differ between devices.

• Set up SOF on MinnowBoard Turbot
• Set up SOF on Up Squared board with Hifiberry DAC+ (STD)
• Set up a Ktest-based environment
