For now you can follow instructions at
https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Cubieboard to build kernel and image
for cubieboard2.
Replace CUBIEBOARD to CUBIEBOARD2 there.

You should use sunxi-spl.bin and u-boot.bin different from cubieboard, you
can get them from http://androtab.info/cubieboard2/

For necessary A20 src, copy
https://github.com/tsgan/allwinner_a10/tree/master/a20 files to appropriate
places:

CUBIEBOARD2 to /usr/src/sys/arm/conf/, cubieboard2.dts to
/usr/src/sys/boot/fdt/dts/, rest of files (except dmesg.txt) to
/usr/src/sys/arm/allwinner/a20/

You have to have src tree in order to build kernel and image.

hth,

Ganbold
