In order to make assumptions, need initial information that is completely missing.

Version 20200625 with the legacy 5.6 kernel.

If you do not have a lot of hardware, there is no point in wasting time on complex manipulations to create your image and other unnecessary steps. For your use case, everything is trivial. Start the system on the SD card. Perform basic settings on the SD card that are common to all instances of TV boxes. Launch the installation on TV box (please note that each platform uses its own version of the installation script). After installing the system in eMMC, immediately from the system running from the SD card, mount the EMMC root partition and perform a personal configuration for a specific instance of the TV box (for example, creating a new user, changing passwords, setting a static IP address, MAC, system name, etc.). Using this configured SD card on the other TV boxes, connect via SSH, install system to eMMC, mount eMMC, and perform a personal configuration. If you want, you can even execute (chroot) to the eMMC system installed and perform additional settings directly from it, run programs or utilities for a specific system).

Good news. It turned out to fully launch Armbian with core 5 on Ugoos UT2 (rk3188) from an SD card. Question. Are there users with models running on the rk3188 platform ?

Good news. Using sources with patches from knaerzche, it was possible to get the initial launch of the kernel 5 with an HDMI output for rk3188 (Ugoos UT2). Now I can see what messages the kernel gives out and I can move on, add the necessary options and Initrd for a full start of the system.

Writing an image with the dd command to eMMC (internal non-removable memory) is a very bad solution. Not use it. You can only use DD to create and restore an exact copy of eMMC content (which was correctly generated earlier in the appropriate ways). Installation of the system in eMMC should only be performed by commands that are intended for creating partitions and the file system, and for working with files correctly.

Ver 20200623-dev kernel 5.8-rc2

My images use u-boot-2020 (for rk3288), it only works if there is no u-boot in eMMC\NAND. Rk3188 needs its own version of u-boot-2020 (I don't have this option yet). But there is also good news, when performing a number of manual steps, it turned out to run the core 5 on rk3188 (but without HDMI output, network, etc.), there is only the inclusion of indicators and reaction to the combination CNTR+ALT+DEL (the system reboots).

Write in more detail what steps you are taking and what results you get from them.

Yes, I was wrong. On my TX6, this chip is labeled 6222B-SRB. https://forum.freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support/allwinner-tv-players/751595-tanix-tx6-tv-box-allwinner-h6-4-32gb-dual-wifi-bt4-1-or-5?p=757381#post757381 On the photo from the sunxi site, this chip is there, but on your photo it is not. Based on your information, there may still be differences in the hardware, so the behavior of your model differs from mine. Try other DTB files.

are there users with Tinkerboard (3288) ?

I did a quick hack (stupid value replacement TEXT_OFFSET 0x0 -> 0x01080000

What firmware is in eMMC ? I compare your photo with my board - you have a clone (not the original). There is no Wi Fi chip AR6330, the radiator is noticeably smaller and other differences.

Test version 20200616-dev with 5.8-rc1 core (without adding patches). On UM3, can see not only the eMMC itself, but also the MTD sections from the firmware.

Yes, the patch needs to be changed (I fixed it myself, but Build-Armbian hasn't been updated yet)

Ver 20200616-dev "clean" kernel (no patch) 5.8-rc1

can you show check the wired network with the latest 5.7.2 image ?

There is no such version , I only work with version 19.

I checked the last image with kernel 5.7.2 on TX6, the HDMI sound works. Perhaps you have a clone with different parameters and it needs a different DTB. Can you show a photo of your model's Board ? How is the TV connected to HDMI, directly by cable or via adapters ? What is the resolution set on the TV ? I observed a strange behavior of the sound when connected via the adapter. The sound only worked if you set the resolution to 1080p, when set other screen resolutions, there was no sound, although all utilities show that the sound works.

As far as I know, AM6 should have multi-boot enabled in the firmware itself. Configure startup parameters in (uEnv.txt), uncomment the necessary lines for AML, and you can delete the remaining lines, so that they do not interfere.

Question. Does anyone have any model with a rk3188 chip ?

I have the original TX6 in stock, the SD card works perfectly on it. You may have problems with either the SD card or the card reader. Try using the SD card via a USB adapter (to make sure that the SD card is OK). The HDMI sound works without problems. Run the command (sudo sound.sh) manually in the working system, restart the system. For verification, write the Librelec image for H6 to your SD card (you don't need to configure anything in It). And write the Armbian image to a USB flash drive, configure it to run (edit uEnv.txt and rename the script boot.scr.aw in boot.scr). Connect them together and check that Armbian is running. By the way, when setting up, you did not forget to rename the scripts (remove the extension .aw) ?

Updating the Armbian and LE versions (20200613). The 5.7.2 kernel is used.

I do not understand the question, please clarify what the problem is. There are several ways to upgrade to new versions of LE.

1. I don't owe anything. 2. if you Want to get detailed documentation and dedicated resources for posting materials for download, pay 5000 to donate Armbian. 3. I have a very negative attitude to those who use someone else's development for free (in which a lot of work\money\time of different people is invested), absolutely do not help this project in any way and at the same time make claims.
