Yes, you should be able to use the rk3399 flash tool and a USB A to USB C cable to flash the emmc. There are even images on the Software Release page for this.
I tried looling up the rk3399 flash tool and am confused of where to get it/how to use it. Is there a guide anywhere?
Can I just plug the usb c into the pbp port and the usb into my windows laptop? Or do i need to open up the pbp?
I would get it from a source that deals with Rockchip devices already. CNX should be a fair source.

[/url]You will have to open up the case, because you need to put the PBP into MASKROM mode. I believe this is done using the little Recovery button on the inside (verify this on the PBP wiki page, though.) After placing the PBP into MASKROM mode, you should be able to connect it to your Windows computer, using the USBA-to-USBC cable, and then flash with the RK flash tool.

Thanks ill look this up and try this.
