Implementing the Loongarch architecture defined in 
<https://uefi.org/specs/UEFI/2.10/02_Overview.html#loongarch-platforms> would 
make sense to me.

Supporting an architecture that does not have published UEFI standards is less 
convincing. 

Is any of the mentioned boards being produced anymore?

Best regards
