More likely that it was founded by a Kuruba because both Harihara and Bukka were said to be Kuruba and also Sri Krishnadeva raya (third in line of the Saluva dynasty) was also Kuruba, Kuruba is another name for Yadav's used in Karnataka just like Golla and Dhangar are used in AP and Maharashtra respectively, they are classified as OBC's currently I think.

Actually there were four dyansties in Vijayanagara. Krishna Deva Raya belonged to Tuluva not Saluva

1 Sangama: to which Harihara, Bukka, Devraya etc. belonged
2 Saluva: Only one guy Saluva Narasimha, who was general of Praudha raya and later deposed the king to become king himself.
3 Tuluva: Narasa Nayaka and his sons Immadi Narasimha, Krishna Deva Raya, Achyuta Raya
4 Aravidu: Rama Raya etc.

Tuluvas were from Tulunadu. I think Saluva Narasimha was Brahmin because Krishna Deva Raya had a Brahmin minister named Saluva Timma.
