I suspect that your problem trying to install LL3.8 on this system is down to the kernel version on the LL installation media being too old to include the necessary drivers for these devices. To evaluate this, you might want to try downloading the just released Xubuntu 18.04 live ISO and putting that on a USB flash drive to see whether it can detect the eMMC drive (any of the *buntu 18.04 live ISOs would do for testing but Xubuntu would be the closest to LL in feel). If this works, LL 4 is anticipated being released in a couple of months time which would have the same kernel and thus device support.
As background, I have installed Xubuntu 16.04 on a machine with similar flash memory (though an Atom CPU and 2GB of RAM) using a specially compiled kernel installed into the installation media, and this setup had no trouble with the eMMC flash drive. The special kernel version (and installation media!) was required to support the machine's WiFi chipset and audio drivers (though I don't think audio fully worked until an even later kernel) and the fact that the machine had a 32bit UEFI only BIOS :
