Well, that's why I stick with Pis, because they're easy and fast enough. You could look into debootstrap https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap if you feel like an adventure. I did it once on a phone. Or maybe you should use cdebootstrap https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=cdebootstrap
Drivers for specific hardware will probably be an issue with the Rockchips unless they're now available from Debian. Maybe you can add a Rockchip repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list or enter it as part of the installation process. I think you just choose arm64 by using the --arch=ARCH option when you start debootstrap. I don't know of a ready to go image, sorry.
