Andy.
I am packing up to catch my flight, but caught your messages, and it
seems that you are using an old ALpha build, not the current Beta release?
I grabbed:
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/21_Beta_RC1/Images/armhfp/Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-21_Beta-1-sda.raw.xz
I then ran the installer that I downloaded a long time ago:
http://pwhalen.fedorapeople.org/fedora-arm-image-installer.tar.bz2
Now I see you have some issues with the location of the bootloader
itself on the SD card. This installer puts it there. It is actually
running:
sudo dd
if=/tmp/root/usr/share/uboot/Cubietruck/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin
of=/dev/<media-location> bs=1024 seek=8 conv=fsync,notrunc
(see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F21/Installation).
For the Cubieboard2, I was successful with:
sudo dd
if=/tmp/root/usr/share/uboot/Cubieboard2/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin
of=/dev/<media-location> bs=1024 seek=8 conv=fsync,notrunc
Ethernet works well on both my Cubietruck and Cubieboard2. CT finally
has a stable MACaddr between boots. No WiFi on CT though (at least the
LEDs are no longer flashing as with F19/F20 remixes). Mine are recent
purchases from:

George has been very helpful.

It'd be great if folks could help out with the Beta RC1 testing. The
cloud images seem to be busted but everything else is available for
testing, and Dennis will look into the Cloud issues tomorrow. In the
meantime if people can help get the ARM and Workstation/KDE tests run
it'd be a big help.
(Snipped the non-arm guys)
On a Cubietruck, unpacking Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-21_Alpha-1-sda.raw.xz
to an SD gets me nothing useful, it seems because the U-Boot that needs
to be on SD Card at a magic sector offset is missing.

So that's dead out of the box on Cubietruck and presumably Cubieboard 2
since it has the same requirement.
Making it work needs these instructions from this list
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- Cubietruck_defconfig
make -j4 CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu-
dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 seek=8
(You can transplant a Cubieboard 2 U-Boot, which I tried first, and it
will "work", but Ethernet is dead and he understands he only has 1GB.
So you need a Cubietrack-specific U-boot)

Then he boots into firstboot on serial console which is nice. Ethernet
etc seems to work fine.
Couple more findings
- Cubietruck Ethernet onboard is broken. His phy negotiates the link OK but he cannot pass traffic. Googling around other people get this from non-3.4 kernel, so it's something missing upstream I guess.
Latest rawhide kernel (3.18.0-0.rc1.git2.1.fc22.armv7hl) and update to latest sunxi U-Boot ( e847610a41af2b @ https://github.com/jwrdegoede/u-boot-sunxi ) did not solve it, it's still broken.
There's some nasty 'fex' thing on these boards I managed to avoid until now maybe it's related to that.
- Although firstboot stuff ran on console, sshd-keygen never ran. So ssh is up but he can't do key exchange. Journald makes it obvious

Just run sshd-keygen to fix it

So it's the usual Fedora goodness once you get over the hump, but does
not work out of the box on Cubie*.

You can use my silly relval tool -
https://www.happyassassin.net/wikitcms/ - as an alternative to editing
the wiki pages to report results, if you like. Set up the repo,
install
relval, and run 'relval report-results --username=(fasname)'. You
might
find it a bit easier/more efficient than editing the pages.
