Hi,

I recently got an ARM64 SoftIron Overdrive 1000 box which uses AMD's 
Opteron A1100, and while it's nice having most of the platform firmware 
be open source, the part I'm missing is the PEI, which is implemented in 
a binary blob. Apparently that is generated via a tool called the AMD 
Firmware Development Kit, but I can't find any reference to it outside 
of the edk2.


Is there any way a user outside of AMD can get the Firmware Development 
Kit, or somehow else reconfigure the PEI binary? I'm asking because some 
work I'm starting out on has changes for the PEI, and while I could use 
Qemu it would be nice to also develop on real hardware.


Thanks.

Rebecca
