I see, but the Raspbian Stretch image (armhf) DOES work on this RPI3B,
shouldn't the Devuan armhf image work too?
According to which principle should the Devuan rpi2 image work as
well, again? ;) There is an rpi3 image in the same place you have
found the rpi2.
Yes, but according to devuan_ascii/embedded/README.txt, section
"Currently supported images" this bullet point:
* Raspberry Pi 2 and 3 (raspi2)
led me to believe there was a chance that the raspi2 image would work on
a RPI3 as well :)
The choice made by raspbian is sub-optimal: they basically provide an
image for the least common config that works on as many different rpi
models as possible. If you have an armv8, why should you run it as if
it were an armv7 or an armv6? o_O
I'd agree with you but what I'm trying to run on this rpi is omxplayer,
a Raspberry-tailored media player that's only provided as a 32bit binary
:/ [1]
I know I could try to compile it manually but there is evidence [2] that
it would not be a speedy task, so I thought that if I could get Devuan
armhf to run, I'd get the job done more quickly.
