Yes, LoongArch is a new RISC ISA, it is not compatible with MIPS.
Loongson processors before 3A4000 is compatible with MIPS, and 3A5000
is based on LoongArch. Part of LoongArch documentations are available
in English (as listed above by Jiaxun), others are being translated.
There will be a new directoy arch/loongarch, and I hope it can be
coming soon.
