This device is sadly as problematic as Orange Pi 4A: A decade old 32-bit U-Boot sources which does not support loading modern 64-bit kernel images, would require incredibly customized setup and boot script, not reasonable to implement into Armbian that way.

What I am considering is using the Xunlong build script instead and just adding that ancient U-Boot and Linux 5.15 builds to our APT repo. Better than nothing, but not great. The Orange Pi 4A mainline Linux support is declared, but practically does not exist as I explained here: #7984
So that will require a bunch of more work, and I fear it is the same with the Orange Pi 4 Pro.
