I do recall a blob file that could be used in the Raspberry Pi board to configure GPIO and a firmware configuration that could be called from sudo raspi-config but I'm not sure how it's handled with the Rock64.
Think the GPIO stuff is handled by overlays, borrowed from the Raspberry Pi. Prior to 0.6.27, I'm pretty sure the GPIOs were all enabled for simple input/output stuff via sysfs.
Rocklobsters single wire connectors suggestion is good... you can get them easily on places like eBay, Aliexpress and Amazon really cheaply... good search keywords are "dupont breadboard"... as they are dupont style connectors and commonly used on prototyping breadboards.
i.e. https://www.ebay.com/itm/40X-Breadboard-...3115552438 where you can choose the length and connector type... the male to female type mean you don't even need the adapter plate to connect to breadboard. It's always handy to have a set of each combination if you're actively doing stuff on breadboards... they always come in handy!
