Some of the 96boards.org offerings I think?
In a previous employment I had seen source for some other arm64 UEFI things, but I don't remember which ones were truly Open Source vs "I have seen the source" so I don't want to mislead by offering other possibilities, there might be people on the list who have a better grasp on reality than me...

I think that's basically universally true on x86 and for a lot of arm64
systems, but arm64 seems to be a lot more open (due to Linaro's
influence I guess).
FWIW I'm not actually sure that the shipping x86 firmwares aren't
actually based on some internal Intel thing which is more like a common
ancestor of both those firmwares and Tianocore. It makes little
practical difference here though.
