Correct.

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.

Regards,

Hans
