Is there some config file which helps me see which dtb will be used? I have mounted the 80MB first partition of the sd card on which I've flashed the image. It has boot.ini, config.txt and so on, and a bunch of binaries. bootarm.efi is also a binary. I was hoping to change the configuration to use dtb which I have created. How can I do that?

Not sure what you mean with "pin delay". I use the official lime2 DTB as
provided by NetBSD.
