Hello,

I'm trying to install an updated os in a CB2.

I tried and failed with Fedora, see https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/install-fedora-in-a-cubieboard-2/18633 , but I'm having problems because it doesn't boot.

I'm not limited to that distro, for me all distros are good if it works and it's updated (last 1-2y).

I can currently use producer provided images, but they are very outdated.

Can someone help me to find a newer release for this A20 device?

Thanks

Build one.

You will need to use EXPERT="yes" switch since its community supported target.

AFAIK, CB2 is fully supported by vanilla kernels (except for the onboard
flash, I think), so there should be no problem booting any of the
distributions that support armhf, assuming you boot via SATA or SD card.
So please give details about "it doesn't boot", including how you try
to boot it.
