Need Advice for Wiping eMMC on Dead LCD Pinebook Pro

I have a postmarketOS SD card so I booted it. I can see the machine on my network and I can ping it but when I try to SSH to it:

Code:
ssh: connect to host 10.42.0.20 port 22: Connection refused

So SSH service is disabled in postmarketOS by default too.

If I can find an OS image, perhaps an older one before devs got all concerned about the security of SSH logons, I should be able to wipe my drive.

I also tried Pinetab Jumpdrive and it doesn't work on the Pinebook Pro. If I had JumpdriveI could wipe it with dd /dev/random or /dev/zero a few times.
Do you have a USB-C to HDMI adapter?  You could plug in an external monitor and run, well, whatever.

Otherwise, Armbian has SSH open by default if I remember correctly.
