Thanks!  Though it does not appear to let me post more then once a day still (which is fine but thought I'd let you know).
 

Note: I am new the forums and there is a posting rate limit in place.  Currently it looks like I can only post once every 24 hours for the moment so my turn around is slow.
 
 
There are a couple issues that I ran into with the newer kernel builds.
The kernel 5.8.y builds do not reliably startup for me.  I have to push reset or unplug-plug-in a few times for it to boot.  I suspect but have not proven that it is this issue, I experience it right out of the box which may be different: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/15209-rockpi-s-crashing-at-startup-with-memory-errors/ I intend to use the I2C interface and the overlays do not appear to be present in the newer kernel builds.  I can just manually add them, so not a big issue. The USB-A port is not recognizing the device I have connected to it.  The same device works just fine with the 4.4.y kernel builds.  Maybe there is an easy solution to this like the I2C overlay that I am just not aware of. Just an observation, the newer builds result in a 10C increase in idle CPU temperature (as reported in htop).  It does not appear to affect anything and it could just be a reporting issue.  
 
Yes it is present in their Debian Buster build as well.
 
 
 
The image improved it quite a lot but like you said, the issue is still there.  With the test build the hang was only observable for about a second.
