I think it will be too hard to work on a new BSP/port without the
assembly programming language experience in that architecture.

I'd suggest you look for projects for which you possess all/most of
the prerequisites (when explicitly stated).

I can do assembly (most familiar with Intel, but open to learning), low-level C down to the hardware, and have experience with OS level programming and drivers, serial and network transport, debuggers.
