Hello,
attached is a small patch against flash-kernel to add machine db
entries for the Cubieboard 1/2 and the Mele A1000. These three
are generally supported by the armmp kernel and have SATA
connectors, i.e. with linux-image-3.14-1-armmp 3.14.4-1 (in
testing since yesterday) it should be possible to do Debian
installations on a SATA disk attached to them.
I unfortunately don't have access to any of these models, so this
is purely based on information from the linux-sunxi wiki and from
the dts files in the kernel source. Testers welcome :-).
I'll probably get access to a Cubieboard2 sometime next week and
will test an installation on it, but for the Cubieboard 1 and the
Mele somebody else would have to give them a try.
Regards,
Karsten
