  * Eable OTG device fuction (g_mass_storage)
  * Expanding all tf-card space to rootfs when first booting 
===== Installation =====
==== Hardware ====
  * cb2-2cards 
  * card-reader
  * TF card (>=2G,class 10 suggeted)
  * HDMI and Monitor 
  * USB mouse and keyboard

  - Get origin md5sum to check you image is completed
<code>
$ md5sum cubieez-cb2-2cards-v2.0-20140812.tar.gz > my_md5sum
$ cat my_md5sum 
Compared with origin md5sum:dbb974882aa352dbcf3201ff8bfef676
</code>



==== Write to card ====
  * For linux users :
<code>
$ sudo tar -zxvf cubieez-cb2-2cards-v2.0-20140812.tar.gz
$ sudo umount /dev/sdx //sdx is your tf-card device label ,example sdb  
$ sudo dd if=cubieez-cb2-2cards-v2.0-20140812.img of=/dev/sdx 
$ sudo sync 
</code>
 
<note important>"dd" is a dangerous operation,make sure sdx is your tfcard </note>

===== Build your cuieez =====
====get sdk====
  - Download from dl [[http://dl.cubieboard.org/software/cb2-2cards/debian/code/cb2-2cards-sdk.tar.gz|cb2-2cards-sdk]]
  - Git clone from github 
<code>
$ mkdir linux-sdk 
$ cd linux-sdk 
$ git clone https://github.com/keepace/linux-sunxi.git
$ git clone https://github.com/keepace/linux-products.git
$ git clone https://github.com/keepace/linux-tools.git
$ git clone https://github.com/keepace/linux-binaries.git
rename them: linux-sunxi products tools binaries 
</code>
==== Build  ====
=== Build card image ===
<code>
$ cd linux-sdk 
$ source tools/scripts/envsetup.sh
$ 0 (cb2-debian)
$ cb_build_card_image
</code>
It will take several minute  

=== Install to card ===
  * Insert you tf-card 
  * Find you tf-card device label ,for example :/dev/sdb 
  * Install to card 
<code>
$ cb_install_card sdb 
</code>
If you compile successfully，you will get a cubieez boot card 
=== How clean sdk ===
<code>
$ cd linux-sdk/linux-sunxi
$ make mrproper 
$ cd ../
$ sudo rm -rf build output
