On all Rockchip SoCs, eMMC has boot priority over SDCard.
If you wish to boot from SDCard, you need to stop U-Boot from eMMC by pressing <spacebar> multiple during early boot process, then you get into U-Boot command prompt.
You can then tell U-Boot you wish to boot from SDCard by giving the "setenv devnum 1" command followed by "run mmc_boot" ...

I think I've found the problem :
 
Those "of_chosen" symbol dependencies came in the @megi commit https://github.com/megous/linux/commit/4ea85aef763727ab40791ae3c0c8dd1bb87ef577
But the "of_chosen" symbol export is not provided in driver/of/base.c like suggested by a guy 4 years ago :
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/710174/
 
I'm now compiling new 5.7.y build and will let you know if it is succeeded ...

From my Bell Fiber TV Decoder, but I'm using HDMI splitter ...
Yes ! Actually, I'm using currently a HDMI Capture box purchased a year ago (at US$80), which store the capture on USB dongle, which I then copy files into a NAS, but current limitation is that files are splitted into 2GB FAT chunk (around 20mins of recording) instead of single files. I then need to concatenate them into single one using ffmpeg.
Then, I convert them into DVD with "dvdauthor" to give DVDs to my mother ...

Me ...

I will start working on that soon ...

add your needed commands in /etc/rc.local just before the exit 0; ...
 

I'm one of the main Armbian devs, so, yes, I will add the DT overlay in builds in the near future ...

I've done a small SPI module attached on my Pine64, and I'm using a user-patch for U-Boot Pine64 DTS, along with an DT overlay for the kernel that provide MTD partition, which I can then push the U-Boot image on the SPI flash.

After transferring Armbian from SDCard to eMMC, next time you wish to boot SDCard, it will be less painful, no more needs of TP50265 ...
Simply stop U-Boot with spacebar, then you can select SD with "setenv devnum 1" followed by "run mmc_boot".
 
You need to switch firmware to another version :
mv /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4356-sdio.bin /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4356-sdio.bin-ORIG mv /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4356-sdio.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4356-sdio.txt-ORIG cp /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4356-sdio-nanopi-m4v2.bin /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4356-sdio.bin cp /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4356-sdio-nanopi-m4v2.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4356-sdio.txt  

You should change the "verbosity=1" to "verbosity=7" in /boot/armbianEnv.txt

Here it is : https://mega.nz/file/fS5XhTQI#_7bZ_jw4XdqFWc_9x6wAI1s07sEnKoamqOBqhMf_hc8
 

This U-Boot seems to be pretty old ...
 
The one I built recently is booting fine 5.6.2 from eMMC :

It seems to be clear that DTB is missing ...

Of course, I've shown the source located in kernel tree, not a decompiled version ...
 
I've also said something wrong : I've a local patch not included in Armbian tree :

You can use that patch if you are doing you own build ...
... or you can tweak your decompile DT to make sure that USB nodes are matching that, or use my own DTB attached, of course after backing up yours first ...
 
sun8i-h3-orangepi-lite.dtb

Install DT compiler from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/device-tree-compiler/device-tree-compiler_1.4.7-3_arm64.deb
Then, compile the DTS I've provided and then load it dynamically :
dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o odroid-n2-ic2@1c000.dtbo odroid-n2-ic2@1c000.dts mkdir /sys/kernel/config/device-tree/overlays/i2c3a cat odroid-n2-ic2@1c000.dtbo > /sys/kernel/config/device-tree/overlays/i2c3a/dtbo  

Odroid-N2 external RTC is attached on I2C3 which isn't enabled by default.
To enable it, use this overlay source and compile it and load it.
/dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "amlogic,meson-g12b"; fragment@0 { target-path = "/aliases"; __overlay__ { i2c3a = "/soc/bus@ffd00000/i2c@1c000"; }; }; fragment@1 { target-path = "/soc/bus@ffd00000/i2c@1c000"; __overlay__ { status = "okay"; pinctrl-0 = <&i2c3_sda_a_pins>, <&i2c3_sck_a_pins>; pinctrl-names = "default"; pcf8563: rtc@51 { /*I2C-bus slave address: read A3h and write A2h*/ compatible = "nxp,pcf8563"; reg = <0x51>; }; }; }; }; Then, the i2c will appear as well as module for PCF8563 will be loaded, it will be hookup as /dev/rtc1, you can then set the clock and re-read it using :
hwclock -w -f /dev/rtc1 hwclock -f /dev/rtc1  

If you look at Armbian build scripts, since NanoPiNeoPlus2 is an Allwinner H5 SoC, it is usual megous's github here :
 
Current : https://github.com/megous/linux/tree/orange-pi-5.4
 
Dev : https://github.com/megous/linux/tree/orange-pi-5.6
 

There is also this one, although not a fork of the previous : https://github.com/Jeremie-C/OrangePi.GPIO
