Yes, Andreas Faerber has developed some tools for that : https://github.com/afaerber/meson-tools You are free to join #linux-amlogic on Freenode and open source the missing bits, but for now we haven't got issues with the ATF binary blobs provided by Amlogic and we focused to have a clean and stable implementation of U-Boot & Linux. The BL31 has already landed on ARM ATF repo : https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/tree/master/plat/meson/gxbb Seems a couple of hackers are trying to reverse-engineer the BL2 and SCPI blobs, but it's a complex job... But note the GXBB SoC on he Odroid-C2 is deprecated and not supported anymore by Amlogic, we focus mainly on the new platforms while trying to maintain the GXBB SoCs working with the new features introduced.
