Wow I have not heard "Loongson" for about 15+ years. I had a job at a startup that was trying to make "thick client" machines (kiosks, library computers, schools, prisons, call centers) etc. Using Loongson hardware running debian-live ("casper"), MIPSEL variety. My job was to cook up custom Linux images to boot from flash memory on Loongson prototypes, so we could show prospective customers "hey, we can stamp out these computers that will do only what you want and nothing more.
At the time, the internet had a ton of Macromedia (Adobe) "Flash" for animations, video playing etc, and there was no capable MIPS "player" for flash which was a major concern towards our go-to-market strategy.
Now Flash is history and most people are surfing the web on ARM chips on their phones.. time moves quickly
