I think this comment on the reddit thread is a pretty accurate take on the whole thing:
"Not that anyone could have seriously expected that.
If AMD makes a business decision to possibly open source the PSP now or in the near future, the first results will be visible 2-3 years later, at best. However, it is VERY likely that there are legal barriers, such as 3rd party code. Maybe they are using a 3rd party RTOS that they cannot publish the sources of? Or maybe some DRM part of the PSP firmware can't be published?
What I'd personally like to see is a minimal PSP implementation (without any noticeable features) that's Open Source, with reproducible build process and a binary of that signed by AMD."

- bryanbuckley 9y agoThere is a reply to that comment that more or less confirms that's at least part of the issue (i.e. Trustonic owns the rights).

There are 3rd party efforts to produce something similar on Intel platforms: https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner/wiki/How-does-it-work%3F https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner/wiki/How-does-it-work%3F https://puri.sm/posts/reverse-engineering-the-intel-management-engine-romp-module/ https://puri.sm/posts/reverse-engineering-the-intel-manageme...
