Marc Herbert deb0e7340e Rename generated version.h to sof_versions.h
Zephyr also a version.h too so the situation was a buggy #include mess
that (among others) dropped the SOF git version from the SOF banner when
using Zephyr. It's absolutely impossible to fix this mess while keeping
two .h files both named exactly the same and even included with the
exact same '#include version.h' line, I mean no sof/version.h or other
prefix.

As a bonus, this rename also reduces the XTOS-only confusion between
"version.h" and cavs/version.h".

Generating a file in the source tree is a serious bug (to be fixed
later), it means this file is never cleaned. Do not hide this bug with a
.gitignore rule.

README.md

The GNUmakefile in this directory prepares /lib/firmware/intel/sof/ and /lib/firmware/intel/sof-tplg/ directories.

It extracts what's needed from the output of the scripts ./scripts/xtensa-build-all.sh and ./scripts/build-tools.sh -T -l. It automatically runs these scripts when needed for the platforms listed in config.mk and performs incremental builds when they have already been run.

It does not copy anything to /lib/firmware/ directly but to local, "staging" subdirectory first. The staging area can then be installed with rsync to a local or remote /lib/firmware/intel/ or to a release location. This gives an opportunity to inspect the staging area and avoids running everything as root.

The default target (re-)generates the staging area:

make -C installer/

Then, to install the staging area:

sudo make -C installer/ rsync

By default, the "rsync" target installs to the local /lib/firmware/intel/ directory. To install to a different host or different directory, copy the sample-config.mk file to config.mk and follow the instructions inside the file. config.mk can also be used to change the list of platforms installed and a number of other Make variables. As usual with Make, many parameters can also be overridden on the command line.

To stage and install in one go:

make -C installer/ stage rsync

"stage" is the default target and it tries to stage everything: firmware, dictionaries and topologies. As usual with Make, it's possible to invoke individual targets. Find a list of targets at the top of GNUMakefile.

You can use make -jN stage to build multiple platforms faster but do not make -jN stage rsync as this will start deploying before the builds are all complete. That's because we want the rsync target to be able to deploy subsets. Instead do: make -jN somethings && make rsync.

Sample output:

staging/sof: symbolic link to sof-v1.6.1
