[Arm-dev] Newer images

> I do not know how to build an image that works via the RBF.

In your case, since you have both Cubietruck and Cubieboard2, you
should generate a generic image i.e. a QEMU image and then write it to
your microSD card using rbfinstaller.py. Choose Cubietruck/Cubieboard2
depending on the which microSD card you are writing to.

In short, on your current CentOS Cubietruck
# git clone https://github.com/mndar/rbf.git
# cd rbf
# ./rbf.py build templates/qemu.xml
# ./rbfinstaller.py centos.img /dev/sdb


The README has more details. You can look in the section, "Usage of rbf.py".
If you want to use QEMU, this doc will be useful

I built a new CentOS image my Cubietruck last week. With the latest
kernel in the repo, I am having trouble with the mmc_block driver in
QEMU not detecting the disk and with the ethernet driver on my
Cubietruck. I generated the image and then copied over the old kernel
to the new image to make everything functional in both cases. I have
yet to look into these two issues in more detail.
