more specifically it depends on the pitch of the LCD connector of the board. We have two cables –
both 40-pins ones but one for the bigger pitch (0.1'') and the other for the smaller one (0.05''). Each
of the displays listed in the table above has two connectors suitable for both cables:
CABLE-IDC40-15cm – 15cm long cable suitable for 0.1'' step connectors –

CABLE-40-40-10CM – 10cm long cable suitable for 0.05'' step connectors –

The default Debian image lacks a graphics environment. This is one of the reasons for the lack of
touchscreen support. Touchscreen displays are recommended only for experienced embedded Linux
users.
3.9 Software support
At the moment, we provide ready-to-use Debian Linux images suitable for the micro SD card of the
board. We also provide instructions and sources of these releases. These images might be
downloaded for free and modified as the user wishes. The latest images and updates are featured at
the wiki article of the device:
https://www.olimex.com/wiki/AM3352-SOM
.
We usually try to provide extra details and best experiences with our products at our wordpress
page:
http://olimex.wordpress.com/
. Another useful place is the Olimex forums where a lot of
people share their experience and advice:
https://www.olimex.com/forum/
.
The official images are a constant work-in-progress – newer releases are packed with better
hardware support, newer kernels and extra features.
You are more than welcome to send or share your suggestions and ideas at our e-mail, the public
forums or irc channel. We would attempt to help in almost every case. We listen to the feedback and
if the majority of users suggest a software change or update we try to implement such. Customer
feedback is very important for the overall state of the software support. However, do not expect full
Linux software support.
We can share our experience. We can give you full details for things we have tried. We can point
you to a resource or a guide. We can give you general directions to solving a specific problem or
places to look for more information. However, we won’t install a piece of software for you or write
custom program for you. We won't provide a specific software solution to a specific software
problem.
