Need help installing Android on RockPro64

I'm able to load Armbian to either media (SD or eMMC) and boot it successfully complete
with a working desktop.

Android is another story.  I've tried several images and burning them to media on both
Linux and W10 just to make sure.  It's a similar story in both OSes.

Under Linux is use the DD method.  I download an image and unzip. Next I DD to the media.
When I look at it with fdisk under media I have a wierd looking partition table.

Under W10 I use Etcher and it complains that the unzipped image doesn't have a valid parition table
and wants to know if I want to go ahead.

What am I doing wrong?

Got it. The pine installer does it perfectly.  The instructions in the Wiki for the DD are wrong. Now that have working media I think I see what to do. fdisk shows me that it makes the entire eMMC into a dos partition. I wonder if you are supposed to DD the image using the partition handle “/devsdd1” instead of the raw device “/dev/sdd”?
