Cannot detect eMMC during install on Chrombook (lemmy.world)

Hello! I am trying to install Mint on an Acer C720P Chromebook that previously was running GalliumOS.

I cannot for the life of me get the Linux Mint Live USB to recognize the internal eMMC storage so I can install to it.

I have an Arch live iso that has no issue seeing the device or formatting it, so I don't believe it's a BIOS or hardware issue.

I have tried both GPT and MBR, and I have also tried LMDE, all to no avail.

Please, are there any tips or things I can try to get Mint to recognize the eMMC? I want to install this to give to a friend and I really feel that Mint is a good choice for her if I can just get it to install. If it matters, the BIOS is https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/docs/fwscript.html
