As I found on the internet, the description at https://nullr0ute.com/2021/05/fedora-on-the-pinebook-pro/ for the Pinebook doesn't work for the RockPro64. And indeed, it still does not. In another thread was noted that you are about to update the documentation to describe the process for RockPro64. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it in my internet researches.

The process is the same as the PBP you just have to adjust the names
so for example "sudo spi-flashing-disk --target=rockpro64-rk3399
--media=/dev/XXX". I have has reports from a number of people it works
just fine.

I can confirm that this works just fine. I have 2 RockPro64's running Fedora 37 here and using u-boot on SPI from there. It reminds me I should document how I built a Fedora based NAS with 10 drives using a RockPro64. It is not the most performant but suits me
