I downloaded the bionic minimal development image. I used a free partition manager for windows called EaseUs. With this I deleted all partitions and rebuilt the emmc mbr. Then created a full partition as a primary 32GB FAT32. Kept the minimal image in .xz format. Started etcher and loaded the image, then selected my emmc module, then wrote the image and verified. Plugged my emmc module into the ROCK64. Powered up and it loads right into bionic minimal. From there I have tried a few different desktops.
Do note, I did use a sdcard to enable SPI flash before starting this process.
Hope this helps
But you have to have an emmc adapter device to flash directly to the emmc? I dont have that.
