Sorry, for my late response.

No, I haven't mentioned this tutorial on the OpenBSD ARM list yet.

(1) What is the point of installing U-boot?

(2) I see that the console says "emmc1 is current device". Does that message mean that (a) the microSD is considered as an emmc and (b) true eMMC would be emmc0?

(3) I presume that after the exercise with U-boot (see #1) the microSD was removed, put back in the PC, overwritten, and /then/ placed back in the Rock64. Correct?
(Please, forgive the simplicity of my query, but the guide starts with a very basic level of instruction and then omits crucial details -- not staying in the spirit of the tutorial's beginning.)

(4) Tangentially, I have questions about OpenBSD's installation/compatibility with 100BT via the audio dac add-on card and GigE via Asix AA88179. Would someone be kind enough either to address the useability here or in my separate post?
For details, see https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=6360 - OpenBSD, GigE Adapters/Chipsets, and ROCK64 STEREO AUDIO DAC ADD-ON BOARD.

(1) As far as I know, some parts of the boot/initialization process of the RK3328 is closed source. This version of U-Boot is a patched version from the PINE64 team.

(2) Yes.

(3) Yes, I will improve my tutorial and add this additional information.
