Add support for CB2-2Card (Cubieboard 2 with two cards) #351

Closed dllud closed 8 years ago

dllud commented 10 years ago

There is a version of Cubieboard 2 which brings an additional micro-SD slot instead of the NAND memory. This slot is named BOOT while the other is the DATA slot. Cubian does not run on CB2-2Card if the card is inserted in the BOOT slot. It runs flawlessly from the DATA slot but does not detect cards inserted in the BOOT slot. It would be great if either: a) Cubian could run from the BOOT slot and detect cards on the DATA slot - preferable. b) Cubian could run from the DATA slot and detect cards on the BOOT slot.

The modifications needed seem straight-forward: CB2-2Card_debian_build_guide.pdf Perhaps you could add a target to your build cycle which outputs an image tailored for CB2-2Card, thus accomplishing a). It seems like a new board needs to be added to sunxi-boards.

I have one CB2-2Card and can take the time to do all the testing that you need.

Cubian X1 fixes this issue. It accomplishes b), runs from the DATA slot and detect cards on the BOOT slot.

This can now be closed.
