For the Cubieboard2, I just copied the Cubietruck file to a Cubieboard2 file.  In the installer.sh I did add:


# change cubieboard2 target to uppercase
if [ "$TARGET" = "cubieboard2" ]; then
        TARGET="Cubieboard2"
fi

Which again is just a copy of what you do for the Cubietruck.  Perhaps someone cleverer than I would simplify this.  In fact, you might generalize this, making them all uppercase and allowing lowercase input...

Then I thought there might be someway to do this with a single script file, but perhaps once Hans gets the WiFi working for the CT (and other things CT has that CB2 does not), it could result in a different install than for the CB2 anyway.

I did bring a CB2 along with me and I hope tonight (Central Time) I will be able to run a test with Beta-RC4.
