All that meson stuff is making things really complicated if you are used to previous Android versions
You can convert to a normal device tree blob but for that you need a modified kernel that supports it at least to write the image.
And that's where (at least for me) things get really complex.
The installed kernel checks itself, the bootloader and modifications to the system partition to prevent tampering.
I can convert a Nougat image so it can be used with the existing TWRP but for obvious reasons the flashed rom will cause some troubles.
IMHO the best option would be to check if TWRP can work with these boxes by using a converted dtb and the current 6.01 kernel.
All Nougat roms are currently using it although some make use of the 64bit kernel.
I have no box to test my theory but if you want to try I can convert a dtb for you from a nougat recovery.
