This I can answer. The tool chain rotted and had no maintainer. I also recall not having a simulator to test on.

The final issue was some discrepancy between multiple openrisc CPU projects where I thought the focus on the architecture we had a port to was losing interest from them.

And who would use it?

Long term a port needs to be to a viable architecture from a "is it alive" view  this includes the cpu, tools, a way for us to test, etc
