Based on what I have read it seems the uboot settings were poorly chosen
on this board causing boot issues with newer kernels, and of course you
need a dtb when booting from uboot, while UEFI can provide the data in
a supported format instead. UEFI just makes for a much better aarch64
system. Much better compatibility.
Essentially the difference between the AR0 and AR1 is that one is a 10
year old unsupported proprietary system and the other is a 10 year old
standards compliant system.
