we will likely have optimized builds at least specific for rpi2 and
rpi3. Parazyd's SD image is a good preview for what beta will look
like, while on the mid-long term we are working on a CI that will
targed native builds for all most popular embedded devices.

here my current wishlist:

cubieboard2 efikamx mini-x trimslice riot odroid-w-devkit nanopi2
chromebook-arm-veyron bbb cubox luna rpi-tft odroid-xu odroid-u2
chromebook-arm-exynos banana-pro cubox-i utilite rpi odroid-xu3
odroid-c chromebook-arm-acer banana-pi cubietruck usbarmory rpi2
odroid-w odroid-c2

there is some excellent work on Kali Linux that covers these targets,
integration of their kernel configs and patches in the devuan-sdk has
already started.
