For your Bananapi R1/Lamobo R1, from what I've read so far, two bits are missing from the standard repos
- U-Boot
- Driver for the switch
I had looked for a U-Boot for the R1 when you first posted the question and found this page http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2014/09/07/banana-pi-debian-sd-image/
Banana Pi and R1 will need different u-boot images. I had added support for bananapi based on info from the Fedora wiki. I can put together a template and files for Lamobo R1 based on information contained in the above link.
I don't have a R1 to test myself. But I can try and blindly create a template and put together the kernel files but I won't be able to test the generated image. If it doesn't work then you'll have to try a different kernel, may be a vanilla one or a different u-boot.
Do you want me to try create a template and put together the kernel files for you?
