Debian GNU/Linux on ARM

On these pages you'll find information about the ongoing effort of porting Debian GNU/Linux to the ARM architecture which is often found in embedded systems.

Current Status

Debian fully supports a port to little-endian ARM. The ARM EABI (armel) port has been integrated in Debian and the old (arm) port is deprecated.

As of our latest release, Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.0, the following ARM sub-architectures are fully supported:

  • footbridge: we fully support Netwinder machines and Simtec's CATS evaluation board
  • iop32x: we support some IOP32x based Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices, such as the Thecus N2100 and GLAN Tank
  • ixp4xx: we support the popular Linksys NSLU2 device.
  • orion5x: we support Marvell's new Orion platform and we have specific support for a number of devices, including the QNAP Turbo Station (TS-109, TS-209, TS-409) and HP mv2120.

General Information about ARM

Please see the release notes and installation manual for more information.

Available Hardware for Debian Developers

agnesi.debian.org (arm) and agricola.debian.org (armel) are available to Debian developers for ARM porting work. The machine have development chroot environments which you can access with dchroot. Please see the machine database for more information about these machines.
