Technical Steering Committee (TSC)

The Technical Steering Committee (TSC) serves as the highest technical decision-making body for the Sound Open Firmware (SOF) project. The committee sets the technical direction for the project, defines roadmap priorities and milestone release features, evaluates architectural proposals (including Firmware ABI Change Process), and coordinates cross-community collaboration.

TSC Representation

Member companies active in the Sound Open Firmware project appoint technical representatives to serve on the TSC.

Intel, NXP, AMD, MediaTek (MTK), and Google each hold 2 seats on the committee, ensuring balanced technical governance and multi-vendor alignment across the open-source audio ecosystem.

TSC Meetings

TSC meetings are held periodically, usually following each major firmware release, or on an ad-hoc basis as needed to address architectural, roadmap, or governance topics.

Meeting agendas and notices are circulated ahead of time on the SOF development channels and mailing list. Notes and decisions agreed upon by the TSC are made publicly accessible and published in the project’s GitHub repositories.
