If you compile the source code yourself, there are flags in device/rockchip/common/BoardConfig.mk that will enable playstore (See the block under the comment "# google apps".

Just tried:
BUILD_WITH_GOOGLE_MARKET ?= true
BUILD_WITH_GOOGLE_MARKET_ALL ?= true

No Paystore available in the result image. Any idea why?

to Reboot the Tinker Board................

------------------------------------------
NOTE:-
use "adb push" to copy the PlayStore, Google Play Services and Google Services Framework apks to /system/priv-app
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Those apks can be downloaded from apkmirror
===========================================
The files I used were:

[Google Services Framework 6.0.1:
com.google.android.gsf_6.0.1-23_minAPI23(nodpi).apk]
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc...-download/
rename to : gsf.apk
===================

[Google Play Store 11.4.15-all [0] [PR] 209232408 (240-480dpi) (Android 4.1+):
com.android.vending_11.4.15-all_0_PR_209232408-81141500_minAPI16(armeabi,armeabi-v7a,mips,mips64,x86,x86_64)(240,320,480dpi)_apkmirror.com.apk]
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc...-download/
remane to : playstore.apk
=========================

[Google Play services 12.8.78 (040400-209461520) (040400):  
com.google.android.gms_12.8.78_(040400-209461520)-12878023_minAPI23(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk]
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc...-download/
rename to : playservices.apk
============================

once all three files have been copied to /system/priv-app/ on the tinker board, and Rebooted,
DO NOT run the [Play Store] yet... you first have to go to [Setting] and [APPS] and set the
permission for the three apps... just make sure all permissions are set to [ON] for the three apps...

Note.. the first time I tried this I could not find all the apps.. gsf.apk was not found..
so..
>adb connect 192.168.0.46
>adb root
>adb connect 192.168.0.46
>adb shell
>mount -o remount,rw /system
>exit
>adb install -r playservices.apk
>adb install -r playstore.apk
>adb install -r gsf.apk
Note.. you might get a popup that you have to click on to allow and accept..

go back into [Settings] [Apps] [Show system Apps] again to
check Permissions are ALL [ON] for the three apss..

reboot Tinker Board.. ;-]...
[All Apps] [Power] [reboot]

>adb connect 192.168.0.46
>adb root
>adb connect 192.168.0.46
>adb shell
---------
The following commands should also be executed on the tinker board to prevent occasional Google Play Services errors:
So run the beginning commands and get into adb shell and run these commands:

>pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
>pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then.. Very important !!!...
You MUST factory reset Tinker Board....
[Settings] [Backup & reset] [Factory data reset] [RESET TABLET]
===============================================================

once Tinker Board is RESET, you should now find you have [Google] in
[Settings Personal section] ;-]...
-----------------------------------

you can now setup a Google Account in [Settings] [Accounts] and run the [Play Store]...
=======================================================================================
check you have latest version of [Play Store]..
click on [Settings] of [Play Store] and then click on [Play Store version] to update...

go back into [Settings] [Apps] [Show systems Apps] again to
check permissions are ALL [ON] for the three apss..

Reboot one more time ;-]..  

now... [Play Store] should be up and running ]]]].......
