Having said that it???s not an issue for me because I moved my Net6501 into the background about a year ago over health concerns I saw here. I replaced it with a 1U SuperMicro Atom. The power draw is similar but the machine seems to be a bit more rugged.

The u-boot in the OpenBSD ports tree has BananaPi and BananaPro support.
There are also miniroot images with the u-boot already placed.

Considering that allwinner H3 and A64 should both work under openbsd/armv7
under -current, you should be able to use the newer boards now, as well.
You definitely want -current and not 6.0 release for Cortex-A7.
