I've just set up a second TinkerBoard using this image.  Works well
including the gpio-pps overlay, which has to be added to
/boot/hw_intf.conf to get activated.

The full installation sequence (minus my own mistakes along the way):

*** Linaro 2.0.4
**** Prepare SD card
     - cd /mnt/root # root partion
       + vi etc/shadow   # change password hash (copy from other machine or use passwd -R /mnt/root pi)
       + vi etc/hostname # change hostname
       + vi etc/hosts    # change hostname
     - cd /mnt/boot
       + nothing to do yet apparently
**** Further Steps
     - uname -a # Linux tinkerboard2 4.4.71+ #1 SMP Wed Nov 15 14:31:48 CST 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux
     - sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -us dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

     - sudo apt-get install ntp emacs cpufrequtils pps-tools setserial minicom picocom python-serial rsync git ethtool
     - sudo systemctl stop systemd-timesyncd && sudo systemctl disable systemd-timesyncd # stop and disable timesyncd (SNTP client)
     - sudo apt-mark hold ntp # install ntpsec over existing scaffolding
     - sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
     - sudo apt-get purge anacron
     - sudo vi /etc/default/cpufrequtils # set governor userspace @ fixed frequency 1.2GHz
     - sudo reboot
**** NTPsec development
     - git clone https://gitlab.com/NTPsec/ntpsec.git
     - cd ntpsec && sudo ./buildprep --doc --ntpviz # this is bullshit…
     - ./waf configure --refclock=nmea,pps,local,generic,shm --prefix=/usr --enable-early-droproot
     - sudo vi /etc/udev/rules.d/{77-dcf77,66-ublox6,88-ublox8,99-navspark}.rules
     - echo intf:dtoverlay=pps-gpio | sudo tee -a /boot/hw_intf.conf
     - sudo vi /etc/cron.daily/ntp # increase retention period
