cubieboard and cubieboard2

-----
Intro
-----

To be able to use your cubieboard board with the images generated by
Buildroot you have to correctly setup the SD card.

For more information, please see http://linux-sunxi.org/FirstSteps

---------------
How to build it
---------------

You need to use the cubieboard_defconfig or cubieboard2_defconfig, to do so:
* make cubieboard_defconfig
or
* make cubieboard2_defconfig

And to compile:
* make

-----------------
What is generated
-----------------

After building, you should obtain this tree:

output/images/
+-- rootfs.tar
+-- boot.scr
+-- script.bin
+-- sunxi-spl.bin
+-- u-boot.bin
+-- u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin (optional)
`-- uImage

--------------------------
How setting up the SD card
--------------------------

Depending on the rootfs size, you might want to use a 2GB or larger SD-card.
The script mkcubiecard.sh will take care of partitioning and formatting
the SD-card.

BEWARE! This process will erase your SD card.

Use dmesg to find out where the SD card is attached in the /dev tree
() and then:

# sudo ./mkcubiecard.sh

where:
- is the directory containing the generated files (usually
output/images)
- is the device file of the SD card (usually /dev/sdX)
