The guides mentioned were the ones that worked the best for me also, but I found some other information helpful. This one is quite organized, but I recall it lacks some information, so I would always doublecheck with the arch wiki's installation guide.
If you're still having trouble with the /boot/extlinux/exlinux.conf file:
You do have to create it, and besides writing what's in the guides, be sure to replace <UUID> with the UUID of your partition. You can check this in /etc/fstab or with blkid.
For instance, from this output of blkid:
/dev/mmcblk2p2: UUID="262d2230-2d76-47a0-a5d8-b0af3a96c056" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="61897a41-5636-b943-8e33-c03e7430ffd3"
You extlinux.conf file should be:
LABEL Arch Linux ARM
KERNEL ../Image
FDT ../dtbs/rockchip/rk3399-pinebook-pro.dtb
APPEND initrd=../initramfs-linux.img console=tty1 rootwait root=UUID=262d2230-2d76-47a0-a5d8-b0af3a96c056 rw
