The generic name of your board is "sunxi".

I can't find info about the serial cable in the docs of your board.
Maybe the USB-OTG has some interface to connect directly to the console
(like the old beaglebone). Or maybe you need use the UART connector of your

OpenBSD has an ethernet driver for the sunxi boards.

dd if=miniroot-sunxi-55.fs of=your_sd_card

But you need the serial access to install OpenBSD.
