There's some steps here that might help:

You could just adapt the steps by doing it on Devuan.

Another alternative is the banana pi:

I have a beagle bone black with Devuan installed, without having to
upgrade from Debian. It's more expensive and has only 512MB ram but
since it's a completely open board you can just use the stock kernel of
whatever OS you choose. All I did was adapt some instructions which
were slightly outdated from
https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/TI/BeagleBone using
vmdebootstrap.
