You are doing well.
The evalboard you are referencing "opens" you the NPIX slot's mPCIe socket signals to pin headers and of course you can use it for your tests.
But nevertheless you should not forget how the overall Raspberry chip/Linux OS behaviour is working in principle with this slot in accordance to the HAT specification.
I agree that netPI does not have an SD card slot you can access to immediately. This is because of security reasons that noone can remove the SD card during runtime.
You have to unscrew the 4 housing retaining screws. By removing the housing upper part you get access to the SD card slot.
Please keep the existing SD card safe and use your own SD card with Raspbian OS. And yes this netPI hardware uses 100% the same schematics as the RPi 3B. So any image/SD card made for original Pi will run in this device 1:1.
Thx
