Yep, that's what I've found. If I upgrade the kernel the machine doesn't reboot afterwards.
I have found a way to do it though, the dev image based on 4.19 has working wifi, if I upgrade the kernel through the package manager to a 5.3 rk3399 it works.
The machine can reboot and the usb and wifi work.

I will as soon as I can get to a desktop rather than being on mobile.
Basically though, I downloaded the dev build from January using the wayback machine.
Install the desktop using armbian_config.
Reboot to the desktop.
Use synaptic package manager to install the rk3399 5.3 kernel image.
Reboot.
And the exact kernel version is "Linux nanopim4 5.3.0-rc4-rk3399 #5.93.190815"
It was already marked in Synaptic with an upgrade available, so I just selected it to do the upgrade
I'm still stuck with my ASI1600Mm dying when connected to a NanoPC T4 USB3. I have Ubuntu 16.04 running, and everything is great except not being able to use USB3.
Has there been any more movement on this issue? Does anyone have a fully running NanoPC with wifi, USB3 and VNC running?
According to Alex, the problem with the ASI cameras on the NanoPis is kernel dependent. I have the NanoPi-M4 and have the same problem. Haven't gotten around installing the upgraded kernel 5 there yet, that is a time intensive workaround. I have gotten my Raspberry Pi4 working now quite well, so the pressure of fixing the problems with the NanoPi-M4 has receded into the background a bit.
But if you follow Alex' instructions, it should be possible. Have done the same to get Ubuntu MATE working on the Pi4 and now it seems to be stable and working like a charm.
