I tried to flash the latest Armbian (Armbian_5.50.180630_Pine64_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_4.17.3) on my A64+. When starting I get the following message:
Anybody have any idea what might go wrong? I know it's not stable yet.
After that message I get a black screen.
regards
If you don't get a response on here, then I suggest you try Armbian forum.
For you to know, I started a post in the Armbian Forum.

It looks like the image cannot boot from the SD-Card.
At least according to the error messages.

Simplefb is the Framebuffer driver..
You are using the wrong image.. your image is for a device with a different type of framebuffer.
Try another image.

Yes, these images don't work. I don't even get a boot screen.

Try some stuff with A64+ in the name.. if it works find the DTB file and use that to fix other distributions.
What exactly do you mean?
I found out that the DTB (Device Tree Blob) is a file which describes all the physical devices in a system. Right? How can I find it and where should I put it?

Most of the distro's put it in the msdos boot partition in the folder dtb or overlays
Example Linux (some jesse version)
Code:
root@SuperBSD:/ # ls /mnt/msdos/
Image.version* boot.cmd* bootlogo.bmp* font32.sft* kernel* uEnv.txt*
bat/ boot.scr* font24.sft* initrd.img* pine64/
root@SuperBSD:/ # ls /mnt/msdos/pine64/
boot0-pine64-pinebook.bin* fes1-pine64-pinebook.bin* sun50i-a64-pine64-pinebook.dtb* u-boot-pine64-pinebook.bin*
boot0-pine64-plus.bin* fes1-pine64-plus.bin* sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dtb* u-boot-pine64-plus.bin*
boot0-pine64-sopine.bin* fes1-pine64-sopine.bin* sun50i-a64-pine64-sopine.dtb* u-boot-pi
You will want
sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dtb for your device
Also make sure to check the u-boot/kerel messages and try and figure out what dtb file it's loading so you get/replace the right one.
ps. Linux DTB will most likely not work with BSD and vise versa.
ps2. You can also edit your DTB I don't know the command in Linux but FreeBSD I use
extract: dtc -O dts -I dtb -o sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dts sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dtb
edit with some text editor
extract: dtc -O dtb -I dts -o sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dtb sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dts
