Files in EMMC /boot were named *linux515* renamed to *linux* and copied vmlinuz-linux to Image (as I could not create a symbolic link). Then saw dtbs/rockchip/rk3399-pinebook-pro.dtb was missing so copied it from the Armbian /boot/dtb/rockchip folder (after creating the folder).

All these details I found in the EMMC "/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf" file:

Kernel 5.15 from Armbian has the same issue. Eventually I ended up installing TwisterOS and the image comes with kernel 5.10 so there is no HDMI issue there. Give it a try.
Now, it would be nice to find a Manjaro or Arch image that has these older kernel versions available.
Ideally this should be fixed though as it's such basic functionality and it has been broken for a long time.
