Walk Through of Riscv Processor Creation in Xilinx / AMD FPGA

Is the hardware programing interface of AMD FPGA fully documented? (understand: no blob required to program it).

I'm guessing no. This is what Project X-Ray is trying to enable. It's not immediately clear to me how far they've gotten or what's remaining to cut out the Xilinx/AMD tools completely. I'm guessing Xilinx is always one step ahead of them but I expected the older chips to have been fully documented by now.

I guess Xilinx/AMD FPAG will have to be avoided as much as possible for this very reason then.
