Manual installation
U-Boot
U-Boot v2017.07 does not contain support for this board or SoC.
SDK=s500-sdk
mkdir ${SDK}
tar -zxpf s500_linux_sdk_v1.0.tar.gz -C ${SDK}
cd ${SDK}
git reset --hard
cd u-boot
You may need to suppress -Werror=date-time in Makefile to avoid build failure.
You may want to tweak board/actions/owl/owl_boot_fdt.c to not add stuff to $bootargs.
make cubieboard6_s500_defconfig make -jX u-boot-dtb.img (cd ../owl/scripts; ./padbootloader ../../u-boot/u-boot-dtb.img ) dd if=u-boot-dtb.img of=/dev/sdX bs=512 seek=6144
