You can use Jumpdrive (https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive) to flash the image to the eMMC (same procedure as the PinePhone).

Flash Jumpdrive to a µSD card, boot the PineTab (the screen might stay black but with the backlight turned on) and then plug it to your computer using a micro-usb cable. The internal eMMC storage should be detected as a flashdrive. You can then flash your image on the eMMC like if it was a µSD card.

Once you're done, disconnect everything, turn off the tablet, remove the µSD and reboot.

The OS should feel more responsive once running on the faster eMMC storage.
