If I want to build a armhf based debian image that is custom to flash onto the beaglebone black without cross compiling.
What is the best h/w to do that ?
What is the fastest h/w that I can get for the compilation ?
Is it the panda2 or could I use for example an odroid-u3 ?
Would the fpu be compatible using an arm from samsung?
What are you guys that are compiling all of these images using ? Its not done on the beagle bone itself I assume ?
Maybe you are cross compiling from intel machine ?

If you want to do hardware compiling instead of "cross" you should look
into Distcc

Well... "best/fastest" is all relative, what is your "hobby" hardware
budget?

Personally, i'd stay away from Samsung hardware until they address their
lack of mainline support. Otherwise that hardward ends up in the
unused/brick pile..

Now-days it's pretty easy to get a cheap multi-core arm with on-board sata
and lots of ram, where native compiling is relatively fast.

I could see myself spending ~ $500 but the budget is flexible.
Ah, then the fancy exotic arm server hardware is out of the question.. 
Take a look at these.. (i'm personally migrating from my quad core a9's to
the ti dual a15's..)
Cortex-A15:
OMAP5432 EVM, Dual Core A15 1.5Ghz, 2GB ram, sata (this is what the
PandaBoard 2 would have been, before it got canned)
Cortex-A9:
Many (wand/boundary/i-cube/utilte/etc) i.mx6 based Quad Core A9, 1.2GHz,
2GB ram, sata..

That one is under my desk at work.. The onboard 32gb ssd is a little
limited.. It does get warm, no good way to cool it at work, like my arm
farm at home..

Why not something like the ODroid-XU then? You get Big Little with it as well and the same/similar specs sata connections and all

I explained this previously, so here something deeper... Unless it works
perfectly out of the box, that hardware is going to be hard to work with
due to lack of focus on a mainline kernels by both the manufacture of that
board and the silicon vendor.
So if you want to throw money away, go for it..

Hmm thanks for that info. Have not run into any issues with mine running Arch. While there is no version of you for the ODroid not sure I would agree its just wasting money. Have mine in a mixed ARM farm distributed build system, guess I should keep a closer eye on them to see if there is stuff I have missed.

I have every variant hardkernel has made in a box, the best supported on
mainline is the exynos4412 odroid-x, but it only has mmc/usb..

I have the ODROID-X running Ubuntu 13.10 and everything works fine except the on-board sound so I have to use a USB sound card.
I do big builds on it, qt-5, kernels, gnuradio etc.
When I asked Hardkernel about getting ODROID supported in mainline kernel, the answer was that it will NEVER be supported in mainline.
That is a big disappointment.
Though they have later kernels like 3.11-rc and 3.12 on github, the latest that supports their hardware is 3.8.13.14.
3.8.13.16 boots but no usb devices come up.

Hi Robert,
That's news to me as the ODROID-X has hardkernel specific extensions and I have never found a mainline kernel that will boot on it.

Ti omap5 GLSDK will merge to wayland (how to support in ubuntu ?)
I serch the kernel and Reference manual . not found how they support audio over hdmi .
iMX6 gpu driver from vivante always sux,and no dma support in current kernel and feature kernel 3.10.17 in spi/i2c
Samsung 4412 have a huge bug on eMMC will cause brick (see 9300 brick) ,Do some one here have samsung bootloader code ?
Allwinner A31s have Cortex A7 with 4cores @1G mali400mp and with 1G ram 7inch 1280x800 8G eMMC only for 400RMB ,about 70 US$
