For purely building armhf code, Odroid XU4 might be a good choice: http://www.hardkernel.com/main/main.php <http://www.hardkernel.com/main/main.php>
This is an Octacore processor with 4 CortexA15 and 4 CortexA7 processors. I don’t know how good their kernel/debian support is, but I know Robert had looked at this board or a predecessor in the past, so perhaps he can give his input here. Clearly this board doesn’t have the flexibility of the BeagleBoard-x15 with it’s dual DSP, Dual CortexM4, Quad PRU, SATA interface, PCIe interface, etc. Regards, John > On Dec 14, 2015, at 4:29 PM, William Hermans <[email protected]> wrote: > > Anyway, the main problem with the rPI 2 is that it has no "fast" non > destructive storage.
