I was able to build a devuan image for the beaglebone black using the
arm-sdk. However I run into several issues. I reported the most critical
on git.devuan.org. Hopefully they will be fixed soon. If not already
merged, you can grab the fixes I provided here:

https://git.devuan.org/sdk/arm-sdk/merge_requests/2

For the compilation of the kernel, you should also install the "bc"
package on your build machine. And enable inside "arm-sdk/config" the
toolchain "## custom toolchain (armv7+armhf; gcc 4.9.3)" instead of the
default "## devuan packaged toolchain".
