it's actually incredibly straightforward to get a Card set up with a new OS: https://wiki.debian.org/ArmHardFloatChroot

It is true that there has been (heated) discussions about what kind of image should be shipped with the Eoma68-A20 cards and a lot has been explained here at this list and with the updates at crowdsupply. Still it seems kind of unfair to point Zap in the direction of how to set up a root filesystem as it is obviously not the hard part.
that's a misunderstanding and is out-of-context, so allow me to clarify: note the first part of what i said: I EXPECT THERE TO BE SEVERAL PEOPLE INTERESTED IN CREATING THEIR OWN CARDS.
that means that there will be a ton of people to ask "how do i create my own Card image".
Yes, I agree. Thank you for the clarification.
there is even such documentation on the rhombus-tech wiki. kernel configs and links to kernel configs are included, as well as instructions on how to compile them.
I am trying to prepare to build a mainline kernel on the development board and/or my Eoma68-A20 card. So far at rhombus-tech.net I found: http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner/a20/boot/ and http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner/a20/nand_mainline_boot/
At linux-sunxi.org I found this Howto for mainline kernel: http://linux-sunxi.org/Mainline_Kernel_Howto
Now can I simply run:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- sunxi_defconfig
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- make zImage dtbs modules to get a mainline kernel usable with the A20 card? Did I miss some important sources at rhombus-tech?
kind regards Pablo
