>From the flash-kernel point of view this approach should work,
but in addition to that you would also need to replace the u-boot
on the SD card with a u-boot built for the LIME2 as the u-boot
binary is platform-specific. To write the new u-boot, perform
the following steps:
$ sudo apt-get install u-boot-sunxi
$ sudo dd if=/usr/lib/u-boot/A20-OLinuXino-Lime2/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin bs=1k seek=8 of=/dev/mmcblk0
I'd recommend making an image backup of the SD card before
performing the steps outlined above, just in case something
goes wrong.
