We at Olimex support STMP15x-SOM with mainline Uboot and Linux Kernel.
With the presence of mainline Uboot and Linux Kernel any Linux distribution is possible to be build,
but we decided to pre-build only Debian 10 buster and Ubuntu 20.04 focal.
The pre-built images are hosted at:
http://images.olimex.com/release/stm32/
These images are extensively tested for all available modifications and all features/peripherals are
known to work on them. The testing is slow process and this is why probably the latest released
yesterday Linux Kernel is not in the images. You can surely build your own Linux image, but please
also make sure you do proper testing on your own builds. We will provide technical support and work
on reports for bugs only for our officially released images. If you build your own Linux image or
distribution and something stopped working you are on your own to debug and fix the problem.
We recommend the official images to be written to SD card with minimum 16GB Class10 speed like:

To write the images we recommend balenaEtcher:
To build the mainline Uboot, Linux Kernel and the Linux images we use Buildroot script which is
available on GitHub:
