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?
