I found my notes from a year ago.  I took the CubieTruck img and dd the 
Cubieboard2 uboot with:

dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 seek=8; sync

Since both are A20 boards and the Cubieboard is an A10 board.

And this worked back with 1511 CubieTruck image and the Cubiebaord2 
uboot I had.

But this does not work with the uboot you supplied.  I tried your dd 
command and mine.  What is:

conv=fsync, notrunc

?

Here is the screen output of the boot of the Cubieboard2 (btw, I have my 
CubieTruck up and running).

Note that the CubieTruck uboot is:

boota: bad boot image magic, maybe not a boot.img?
