Correct. > I got u-boot-sunxi-cubieboard2.tar.xz from someplace on Jul 24 which has in it: That won't work because it is missing the "generic distro support" patches Fedora's images rely on. I've a u-boot tree which supports a lot more allwinner devices then just the cubietruck, and does include the generic distro support. To build this do the following (on an x86 machine) yum install gcc-arm-linux-gnu git clone https://github.com/jwrdegoede/u-boot-sunxi.git cd u-boot-sunxi git checkout -B next origin/next make -j4 CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu- Cubieboard2_defconfig make -j4 CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu- sudo dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/FIXME bs=1024 seek=8 Where FIXME is the block device for your sdcard, then umount any partitions mounted from the sdcard, sync, and boot your cubieboard2 with it.
