Cubietruck

FreedomBox Danube Edition

FreedomBox Danube Edition is a custom casing around Cubietruck coupled with an SSD.

Cubietruck / Cubieboard3

Cubietruck (Cubieboard3) is a single board computer with better performance than many other such boards. FreedomBox images are being built for it. For using this board as FreedomBox, a separate USB WiFi device that does not require non-free firmware is recommended.

Download

FreedomBox SD card images for this hardware are being built. These SD card images are meant for use with the on-board SD card slot and won't work when used with a separate SD card reader connected via USB.

An alternative to downloading these images is to install Debian on Cubietruck and then install FreedomBox on it.

Build Image

FreedomBox images for this hardware can be built using Freedom Maker.
