I would recommend IPC4 as that's what's had most integration, validation and testing effort. i.e. most APIs around IP integration already have glue to IPC4.

@dbaluta Ok to bump this to v2.10 ? I think lot of progress has been done, so maybe add the ticket with current status and then bump the milestone tag...?
dbaluta commentedon Mar 4, 2024
@kv2019i do we have a timeline for v2.9 ? I think we are in the final steps of merging support for imx8/8x/8ulp and later 8mp for this. We estimate around 1 month for this.
No problem for us to bump this for v2.10. I will post a table with the progress here.

@dbaluta #8696 ... target for stable-v2.9 branch was last week, so we are running a bit behind, but I did the branch today. Now going through feature items that were not ready by the stable branch cutoff. We can still cherry-pick/backport fixes for the release.

OK, bump this to v2.10
kv2019i commentedon Jun 5, 2024
@dbaluta v2.10 branched today, can you give a status update and move to 2.11 if there's work left?
dbaluta commentedon Jun 5, 2024
Move to v2.11 for now.
kv2019i commentedon Sep 13, 2024
@dbaluta To v2.12? Stable branch is today (#9360).
dbaluta commentedon Sep 16, 2024
@kv2019i yes, moved it.
kv2019i commentedon Dec 13, 2024
Feature cutoff for v2.12, moving this to v2.13. imx8m still in hybrid mode, #9608 pending. @dbaluta Would be nice to get this done in 2.13 cycle. The imx8m keeps tripping me over :) e.g. yesterday in #9719 it's the only fail I have left.
dbaluta commentedon Dec 18, 2024
@kv2019i it will be in v2.13. We spent a lot of time merging zephyr changes.

Changes merged and queued for v2.13
