Ah, I see the Allwinner H5 is Cortex-A53, so 64 bit, too. The R1 plus 
has a RK3328, and lacks video (serial console, only). I tried a 
Rockchip64 image, but that errored out very early.

Do the images on armbsd.org also need to be prepended with an u-boot image?

And if there isn't, where do you start?

The dtb tree appears to have everything but the kitchen sink. How do I 
pick the right one, and how to I add one if it isn't there yet? I found 
an "rk3328-orangepi-r1-plus.dts" in linuxland, now what do I do with it? 
Too much cargo-culting...

Cheerio,
