Ok i still can't believe it but after looking at orangepione dts files comparing it to nanopi-neo.dts i managed to make some changes that made the serial ports work:

Other issue - every reboot the ethernet adapter has different mac address
I solved it by adding :
mac-address = [72 28 b7 40 79 f2]; to sun8i-h3-nanopi-neo.dts under ethernet@1c30000
I'm on fire today.

If you use newest build images, we now provide some overlays in the /boot/dtb/overlay folder, and your can activate them in /boot/armbianEnv.txt with :
overlays=uart1-enable uart2-enable i2c0 spi0-spidev
