There is no SPL support for RK3328 in U-Boot master yet, patch series for it is https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/830462/ Which seems to be included in the previously mentioned ayufan-rock64 tree. Given the rock64 has spi flash if U-Boot were written there it should be possible to just boot the standard miniroot and install without having to mess around further.
