A new card did the trick, exactly same brand (Verbatim) and I now got 2 working H5 board running Node-Red and MQTT on EMMC, and since both H5 boards did the same, I blame the card, maybe being worn a bit from moving around in boards the last couple of years, and yes I need to read more in here so I dont ask questions that are already answered   
The card btw runs fine on my Raspberry 2. And again thx for the great work, I'm one of those that doesn't need SATA, HDMI, and all the other stuff, just as long as I can access the board with ssh, I'm happy.

It is the H3 you want, the H2+ does not get much love here because of the lack of support from the vendor , wi-fi is LOW end needs working driver and firmware for the mainline
and if it is doing anything more than sitting idle, it runs on the hot side.
I am happy with the Zero for the money but the Zero plus H3 is much better.

try here for the H5 chipset

These are experimental/development images. Most likely they work from our perspective, but not from yours - display (HDMI and CVBS), Ethernet, wireless and other features like DVFS may not work or they are not implemented yet.

They are build automatically every day and no one knows if images works - we can't automate this kind of testing. We label images experimental, for developers - sometimes they work, sometimes don't ... until some developer invest his time, inspect and fix the problem. 

We already started to talk about how we will solve this "daily building problem", since it produce much more problems than benefits. People simple does not read before download or does not understand what experimental means. Support questions regarding unfinished product (we are months away) are keep coming, even it's written everywhere that we don't provide any support for experimental and development builds. It's simply not possible.

Yes, no PMU/PMIC --> no battery support. I'm still curious whether we'll see a quad core A20 successor this year (similar performance as H3 but with AXP209 PMU support and SATA -- best choice for a small server IMO).
 
In the meantime Xunlong announced a few more boards, the OPi Plus 2E being also quite interesting for server tasks. H3 combined with SY8106A as usual, 2 GB DRAM, 16 GB eMMC, 3 available USB2.0 host ports like on OPi PC (fortunately no USB hub used and no USB port wasted for an USB-to-SATA bridge, that means you can benefit from 3 USB host ports that do not have to share bandwidth!) and some onboard WiFi accessible through SDIO.
 
Xunlong charges $35 for the board and we know already everything regarding software support: All we have to do is to combine a few bits from fex/.dts stuff for Orange Pi PC and Plus and we're done: Full Armbian support out of the box.

- SS fix added, tnx
 
Also made:
- initrd @allwinner
- eMMC installer for H3 (you need to build new u-boot for testing)
