Thank you @Igor. I downloaded and confirmed sha on Armbian_25.8.1_Tritium-h5_trixie_current_6.12.35_minimal.img.xz. I confirmed my card with F3 and used the SD Format tool to format my uSD card. I wrote the image to my uSD card.
$ sudo unxz -c Armbian_25.8.1_Tritium-h5_trixie_current_6.12.35_minimal.img.xz | dd of=/dev/sde bs=1M oflag=direct conv=fsync status=progress iflag=fullblock
I then mounted the newly written uSD card and changed the verbosity to 7 in /boot/armbianEnv.txt and added my .not_logged_in_yet and .rootfs_resize to the /root directory of the uSD card.
First boot started out well, but 30 seconds in, it hung. I pulled the power after 30 minutes. Here's the log from my serial console:
After pulling the plug and re-plugging it in, Armbian booted, but it took a long time. I know the board is not fast, but I went to lunch and came back to finally see the auto log in root prompt. I ran armbian-upgrade and rebooted. This time it was much faster to get to the log in prompt. I'd say this is solved with the new Armbian image, but the hang up at 30 seconds and pulling of power is not ideal. I'm not sure what else I can give you to debug that.
