I have exactly the same board and in this video that guy had no issues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0Sdu9pTMs4 It was 3 years ago though, but for him it worked somehow.

@balbes150 do you mean this is a hardware isse and it's just a matter of right mapping inside DTB? Thanks.

Hello. Big thanks to balbes150 for supporting this project and everyonelse answering questions as well. I was able to boot from the USB drive into Armbian but run into an issue when copying to eMMC. It is intermittent, but it seems that Armbian is not seeing my internal memory. In those rare cases when it does (mutliple reboot tries) it throws errors (see below) when I run install script. At this moment of time I am about to give up, as I've spent 2 days on this issue trying different images. Is there anything else I can do? Thank you.
