I had no issue installing Armbian Stretch to my Pinebook 14's eMMC chip. Just use the armbian-config utility-- when you have the utility open in a terminal, the install to eMMC option is under Armbian, then Install.

Also, unless you use Armbian Bionic, I believe you have to install your own desktop window manager. Since I'm using Armbian Stretch, I installed Xfce and set it to startup on boot, again with armbian-config.
