This is the best summary I could come up with:


Sound Open Firmware 2.7 released overnight and adds AMD Van Gogh platform support, presumably to be used by the Valve Steam Deck or some future refresh of the device or related platform like for VR hardware.

Back during the Linux 6.6 merge window I wrote how AMD was working on SOF support for Van Gogh and there were also mentions of new Valve hardware: a "Galileo" product that is part of the "Sephiroth" family.

But whether it's some Steam Deck refresh, a VR headset, or something else built upon the otherwise seldom seen Van Gogh APU remains to be determined.

Going along with the Linux kernel driver support in Linux 6.6, the Sound Open Firmware 2.7 release has the Van Gogh APU support in place.

Over on the Intel side of SOF, Sound Open Firmware 2.7 provides a production quality release for Meteor Lake CPUs with this SOF build leveraging the native Zephyr RTOS.
