[Arm-dev] How to add Cubieboard2 - Re: Release for CentOS userland 7(1611) on armhfp

[Robert Moskowitz]

After some struggle with old, frozen, memories (hey it is just about 0f 
here in Detroit!)...

I built an image of Fedora25:

https://arm.fedoraproject.org/

After going through the install and booting up on a Cubieboard2 (could 
have been any board, see next step),

I grabbed the .bin from:

/usr/share/uboot/Cubieboard2/

And used that to overlay the CubieTruck img's uboot.

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

Worked like a charm.  I would suspect this will work for all of the A20 
boards.

Is someone interested in my emailing them the Cubieboard2 uboot bin to 
put up somewhere?  Or perhaps the distro maintainer could put a 
directory off where the images are for specific uboots to be added as 
people get a new board working by simply replacing the uboot bin.
