The entire ARM Architecture is extremely fragmented, essentially only the the processor architecture is consistent. The platform differs between boards, so the concept of a generically bootable ISO is unrealistic. Beyond the OS level difficulties, such as almost universally closed drivers, the boot mechanisms aren't standardized.

I would think of just getting something installed as embedded development, and work is required for each new device. Some devices have small communities, and if you're lucky images and install instructions can be located.

Ubuntu officially supports a VERY small list of development boards, apparently they also drop-off sometimes... : ( It's not really their fault, since the fragmentation puts an unrealistic load on distributions and developers. It still is unfortunate, especially when considering just how much potential exists with ARM.

These problems would disappear if/when a standardized platform/boot environment is specified and followed, such as UEFI/ACPI.
