Official Images from OLIMEX
Linux
For initial test with the default images follow the general algorithm:
1. Download the image
2. Extract it out of the archive
3. Write the image to a properly formatted microSD card
Step 3 under Linux looks usually like:
sudo dd if=LINUX_IMAGE_NAME.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
*Newest official Arch Linux image (recommended):
Direct download of Arch Linux release 5 for all Olimex iMX233 boards: iMX233 Arch image with kernel 2.6.35 WIFI release 5
Build instructions for the ArchLinux images: GitHub instructions; the difference in the source code between the two official releases is in init-mx23.c related to the RAM initialization, refer to this forum post

Software
Linux Commands
Linux-Commands Brief Linux Command reference
To run a Linux system on iMX233 boards, 3 key components are required:
- boot code: either bootlets or a bootloader;
- kernel;
- root filesystem.
Kernels
There are two kernel flavours which work on all 3 iMX233 OLinuXino boards:
- 2.6 line. Support for all on-board hardware features, but lacks support for new kernel features and drivers. Build recipes: Yocto BSP, ArchlinuxARM package.
- Mainline. A modern kernel but still a bit flaky. instructions, easy build helper with instructions, PKGBUILD for alarm.
Software Distributions
A list of linux distributions or build systems which can produce runnable images:
- Debian. An excellent guide here, including instructions for bootloader, SD card partitioning, etc. There is another guide from Olimex.
- ArchlinuxARM with packages for both 2.6 and 3.x kernels and rich package repositories. The prebuilt images use bootlets, but can be made to work with U-Boot.
- Yocto BSP, where most of the work on the boards is done and integrated first. Not newb-friendly, but extremely powerful. Also a complete SDK with cross-toolchains, runtime libraries, etc.
