[opensuse-arm] Cubieboard2 versions 2012+2015
There are 2 different cubieboard2 versions: http://dl.cubieboard.org/model/CubieBoard2/ The 2012 one has nand flash, or TSD flash but I expect that's uncommen. The 2015 one has EMMC or TSD flash, nand flash versions don't exist, and a battery for a RTC. Apparently the EMMC and TSD versions are interchangeable, and that flash behaves like an SD card. http://dl.cubieboard.org/model/CubieBoard2/CubieBoard2-20151211-EMMC/Docs/Li... Has anyone tested openSUSE on a 2015 version of cubieboard2? Or is the JeOS image for the 2012 version? Or both?

Both U-Boot and kernel dts don't distinguish such two CB2 versions. In the kernel .dts I spotted an mmc0 node FWIW.

Thanks! If there is only one mmcX then it'll be the microSD card slot. Some instructions on cubieborad.org say that the tSD/EMMC flash is connected as an SD card too, and there was a suggestion somewhere else not to confuse mmc0 and mmc1. So it's probably effectively a soldered-on SD card. I don't know how that affects the boot process. Hopefully not... Both version are still sold on Aliexpress, but could be knock-offs, or older stock. If anyone has tried I'd still like to hear. This board is at a low price for an ARM board with SATA interface and some semi-decent I/O performance (unlike RPi), and with independent software support. The current boards are too expensive and have no openSUSE.
