<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I work at Lenovo as part of the Linux enablement team – getting linux working on our products. We’ve just recently started looking at offering Debian and so this is my first time getting involved with the Debian project (other than running
it <span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span>) – please let me know if I say anything dumb or incorrect, or if I’m just going in the wrong direction.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sam Hartman pointed me at this mailing list. One of the main issues we’ve got getting Debian up on the X1 Carbon 7 is the audio driver – it requires the new SOF driver (<a href="https://www.sofproject.org">https://www.sofproject.org</a>),
and then potentially some new audio config file changes (though I’d be interested in knowing better ways of doing what I have so far and I’m still working on tweaking those to make it better).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What is the best way for me to get involved and get the changes to support our platform into Debian? I think the aim would be to get the SOF kernel configs enabled by default, the SOF firmware in the lib/firmware/intel/sof directory and
the SOF topology files in lib/firmware/intel/sof-tplg. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m a very long way from being experienced with this – but I have spent this week fighting with getting it working on our system so I have some familiarity
<span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks in advance<o:p></o:p></p>
