[04:35] <kieppie> hi folks
[04:37] <kieppie> I have 2x CubieBord2 -  ARM Cortex-A7 MPCore (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubieboard#Cubieboard2)
[04:37] <kieppie> what images can I use?
[04:39] <infinity> kieppie: Your own kernel and the ubuntu-core rootfs.
[04:39] <infinity> kieppie: We don't have a kernel that supports the A20.
[04:40] <kieppie> infinity: well, that sucks. I wxpected this arch to be supported, but I think I may have to roll w fedora on these & get BB's the next time round
[04:42] <infinity> Fedora doesn't support it any better than we do.
[04:42] <infinity> And for the same reasons.
[04:42] <kieppie> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cubie_Board
[04:42] <infinity> kieppie: Yeah, that's a third-party remix.
[04:42] <kieppie> certainly does fall into the more 'unofficial' catagory
[04:42] <infinity> kieppie: Meaning Fedora with a non-Fedora kernel.
[04:43] <infinity> kieppie: Which is basically what I suggested for Ubuntu. :P
[04:43] <kieppie> I'm sad that Ubuntu's not shown more love for the RasPi
[04:43] <infinity> What love would that be? Rebuilding our entire archive for armv6?
[04:43] <infinity> Absolutely not worth it.
[04:44] <infinity> We're not going to fork our entire repository for the sake of one board.
[04:45] <infinity> Raspian does a decent enough job of this.
[04:46] <kieppie> yea - use raspbian atm. holds up well
[04:47] <kieppie> anyhow. will try again tomorrow. ttyl
