-  TBD+Cubietruck is the second PCB model, it much different between Cubieboard&​Cubieboard2. Cubietruck supports 2GB RAM, VGA jack, Wifi&BT on-board, all them need to expand the PCB size. Most important, we want it is fit a 2.5 inch HDD.

   * Wich battery voltage and type should be used?   * Wich battery voltage and type should be used?
  
-  TBD+ ​Cubietruck supports power by Li-battery even with 2.5-inch HDD or SSD. The specification of the Li-battery is almost like the one  
 +which used in most of cell phones. If you have a free cell phone battery, you can use it to power Cubietruck by soldering two  
 +wires. This Li-battery has the following key parameters: Rating voltage=3.7V,​ Charge voltage=4.2V,​ Over current>​=4A. The capacity  
 +of this Li-battery is not important I think, the more the better. But crucially, you should pay lots of attention in the positive  
 +and negative pole. You will damage Cubietruck if the Li-battery electrodes are connected in wrong way. You can find out the  
 +connection electrodes on the PCB of Cubietruck. 
 +Lithium battery is a kind of dangerous goods in transportation,​ so you need to DIY by yourselves.

 +  * For Version A, android v1.00 image may not work, and cause the board unable to boot or enter FEL mode. So if you were unlucky to meet with such problem, please upgrade to android v1.01 as soon as possible. Linux image is okay for both version A and B. 
 +  * To upgrade to Android v1.01 on cubietruck(ver B chip) 
 + 
 +<​code>​ 
 + 
 +Way A: 
 +1. wait for RTC battery run out, maybe a couple of days 
 +2. Flash v1.01 or later firmware with livesuit 
 + 
 +Way B: 
 +1. Make short-circuited RTC battery on board with wire after poweroff 
 +2. Flash v1.01 or later firmware with livesuit 
 + 
 +Way C: 
 +1. Make a bootable sd card 
 +#wget http://​dl.cubieboard.org/​software/​a20-cubietruck/​lubuntu/​ct-lubuntu-card0-v1.00/​u-boot-sunxi-with-spl-ct-20140107.bin 
 +#dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl-ct-20140107.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=1024 seek=8 
 + 
 +2. Insert sd card, power up 
 +We don't need it bootup, just clean some register value on PMU 
 +3. Remove sd card 
 +4. Flash v1.01 or later firmware with livesuit
