Debian armhf test system?

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi Everyone,

We are trying to track down the cause of a build failure on Debian;
see [1]. I want to setup a Debian armhf system for testing. (I have
about 6 testing boards, but they are other OSes).

I found the relevant area of the manual that says Debian supports
armel, armhf and arm64,[2] but I have not found a list of supported
hardware like a specific SBC.

Can someone provide a recommendation for a readily available armhf
device? Like something I can order from Amazon?

Thanks in advance.

At work, we have
https://www.taskit.de/en/products/embedded-products/computer-on-module/315/stampa5d36-256f/256r/1msf
or one of its variants. It runs Debian 10, only the kernel is customized
a little bit. Maybe that company has multiple devices compatible to
Debian armhf.

Also they have
https://www.taskit.de/en/products/embedded-products/computer-on-module/132/stamp9g20-512f/128r
which can run Debian armel, again Debian 10 with customized kernel.

HTH, Cheers

Another option is to just use the existing porterboxes.

There are a few different lists of hardware where using Debian is possible:

https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/armhf/ch02s01.en.html#armhf-armmp-supported-platforms
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/arm64/ch02s01.en.html#arm64-supported-platforms

The Cubox-i4Pro will do what you want:

If you have an AWS account, you can launch an arm64 VM on Amazon EC2
running a Debian AMI. From there, setting up an armhf environment is a
simple matter of debootstrap and chroot.

Debian AMIs are here:
