Operating Systems
Linux 2.6
Simtec have directly sponsored the work for the ARM Linux community to ensure that the core support for the S3C2440 range of Samsung SOC is fully integrated into the mainline kernel.
Simtec continue to support kernel development of all Samsung S3c24XX parts and numerous machines including the IM2440D20. Some peripherals are not yet fully supported in the mainline kernel, until the support for these peripherals is merged an additional patch will be provided.
The peripheral patch should be applied with patch -p1, for more details on building ARM kernels Russell King maintains a Kernel Compilation document.

Simtec maintain a separate ARM Linux community site which provides a wide range of resources not specifically limited to our products.
Simtec have a policy of continuous updates for our Linux kernel patches and we recommend using the latest version for any new project. Older versions of the peripheral support patch are available, patches for the previous kernel versions have omissions in driver support and reliability issues not found in the most recent versions.
Smokey
Smokey allows the creation of small application specific binary open source distributions. The distribution can be limited to command line tools and daemons, or can be extended all the way to a full graphical system including a web browser, terminal program, file manager and various other tools.
Pre built images
These JFFS2 filesystem images are the example images programmed by default into the user NAND partition of the IM2440D20

Debian
Simtec continue to provide the Debian project with equipment and developer resources to ensure the ARM port of this Operating System is well maintained.
The current 4.0 Release of Debian functions correctly on the IM2440D20, it is recommended the Simtec Linux 2.6 kernel is used as this gives more reliable operation.
It is increasingly popular amongst our customers to use a bootstrap method to install the Debian system, instead of using the Debian installer directly, and to address this we have provided a complete guide.
