For me anyway.  I am begining to see how the pieces are suppose to fit together.

The installer script is coded for only the Cubietruck, and if you don't capitalize it, the script fixes that.

There IS a dtb for the cubieboard2:

/run/media/rgm/__boot/dtb-3.16.0-0.rc7.git1.1.fc21.armv7hl/sun7i-a20-cubieboard2.dtb

But no .bin supplied.
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.

Great. I will give this a try tomorrow or monday. I am assuming that I can do this on a F20 x86 system. I DO have a system that I am suppose to do a F21 install test on, but I have not yet...

thanks
