>I tried Armbian with legacy 4.4 kernel; I couldn't boot it and I ended up looking at a blank screen for 5 minutes.
To check if it has booted, and you may or may not have video issues,,
press capslock,, does led light?,,again, led go out? And same for numlock
If leds toogle like they should, probably booted, try a vt (C-A-F3)
Then, alter video drivers
Partly, the reason I write, I had no problem booting armbian 4.4.213 ,, Debian based
You may not have same version OR there my be a uboot incompatibility
image: Armbian_20.05.2_Pinebook-pro_buster_legacy_4.4.213_desktop.img.xz
--edit--
and some more experience, with armbian, not at all good
Tonight, I thought, I should revisit, well I got 1 black screen and 5-6 hard locks, no boots
--another edit--
And this was all my screw-up, disregard above line
and when I did it right, all 3 gave black screen, but I know with mrfixit on emmc 2 of them booted,
so ? bad uboot on armbian??
--sorry about hi-jacking this thread--
more tests, all of 3 images (armbian) using its own uboot gave black screen
changing uboot to bsp (mrfix, pcm) always gave hard lock (and I don't know why all 3)
samueldr displaying uboot works, 1 in 5,, (5.8.11, 5.8.13)
