@marc-hb@ujfalusi Just for the records, SOF-2.8 and sof-bin-2023.12 releases do NOT follow this yet, so not sure we can depend on this (as the multipple releases are already out which are NOT following this).

@kv2019i, see my proposal at thesofproject/sof#8683 (comment)

I will create an update for the docs, then I will also add a --deployable-build flag to the topology building to create the structure under tools/build_tools/topology/target/ for easy packaging, deployment. Then we can update the sof-bin.

Unlike IPC4 firmware, the directory structure of topologies was always supposed to be: 1. simple, 2. deployable. Also, there's no python script that you can easily hack for topologies, it's just CMake and moving some directories. Let's please not create a new script there: if some topologies are in the wrong directory then just move them in git.

They are in correct directories in terms of separation, the names are not that great fort he future, I would prefer a script to move them out or rename them:
tools/topology/topology2/avs-tplg -> tools/topology/topology2/cavs2.5
tools/topology/topology2/sof-ace-tplg -> tools/topology/topology2/ace1

tools/topology/topology2/avs-tplg -> tools/topology/topology2/cavs2.5
tools/topology/topology2/sof-ace-tplg -> tools/topology/topology2/ace1

As long as file contents stay identical git is pretty good at tracking files across renames. So if you think renaming these directories helps then please just go and do it.

- The standard Linux firmware search path and order is followed. The above table covers the base "/lib/firmware" case. See https://docs.kernel.org/driver-api/firmware/fw_search_path.html for more information.
- The topology folder and filename can be overridden with "tplg_path" and "tplg_filename" `snd_sof_pci` kernel parameters.
