I don't really know. How long is long? I waited 25 minutes and got nothing.
Your thoughts?

Not that long  Huh. No idea atm.

So I tried this image found on this thread (Single Armbian image for RK + AML + AW), and it goes farther:

And later today, I always have the infamous "mmc_init: -5, time 4" error when I try the run mmc_boot.
Go figure. I'm fed up with this card, nothing is stable. When it looks broken (EL3 errors, or kernel panic, or whatever) I can boot on the SDCard, but there isn't any image that boots until the end. When it gets back to life for whatever reason, I can't boot on the SDCard anymore.
I would just like to install Armbian, or push another version of the existing kernel so that I can at last use the camera.

I rebuilt the image today, and I am still stuck at Starting kernel ...

I guess my board may be faulty.
