Following the similar Dedicated_SBC_Camera_Monitor guide, I'll do the same thing with a Raspberry Pi model 3, and Devuan Ascii, this time (migrated from Debian Stretch Lite)

First, image the Debian Stretch Lite to your SD card

Boot up and enable ssh (service ssh start), change your password (passwd pi), and apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

Now migrate following these instructions [1]

Before installing sysvinit-core I created an /etc/network/interfaces file with the following tab did not exist. auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp i Before rebooting, after apt-get install sysvinit-core, make sure /etc/inittab exists, and has startup data. I've had issues where, when migrating a VPS to devuan Jessie, inittab did not exist, and the VPS would fail to boot.

Continue with the ascii migration guide.

At the end, go to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and remove the raspberry pi link there.

Sidenote: This particular arm OS is armhf (arm with hardware float peripheral included). There is also armel, and arm64 (arm with software float, and arm 64 bit) that is available for debian. The devuan sd card image for rpi3, if used from the devuan mirrors, is arm64. This is an important distinction in the case that you might want to use this platform for something else. Some apt packages and external software that is available for armhf, are not supported (officially supported) as well in arm64, and possibly vice versa. The main raspberry pi 3 images are armhf, so from that, most software is compatible with armhf.
