Despite its name, the mips64el port is only for devices with a
Loongson 2F CPU (or a compatible one, I don't know if any exist, maybe
Loongson 3A is, but I can't read its Chinese documentation to be sure).

Porting Parabola to e.g. an 32-bit Ingenic CPU used in tablets would be
probably easy, but we would need probably weeks to build all necessary
packages.  Hardware would be also necessary, since at least some
packages need CPU-specific optimizations to be usable.

A gNewSense developer used it on a NanoNote, so it would need much less
work to be used on another device.
