Cubieboard2 Dual-Card Version which named Cb2-2card for short is also a open-source hardware and shares the same PCB with cubieboard2. It has all the features like cubieboard2 except the on-board 4GB NAND Flash. But Cubieboard2 Dual-Card Version has 2 TF card slots and it supports more flexible storage media configuration. This board has lower costs and very suit for geeks and hobbyists.
