Linux on STM32 microcontroller ?

[Vo1]

Dear Sir,

Please, answer

What STM32 microcontrollers allows install Linux OS ? I need microcontroller such as STM32F407VET6. 

TIA

None of them - you need a micro-processor for that.

See the STM32MP range:

Note that there's a separate forum section for MPU topics:

Dear Andrew,

Thank you,

None, really. At least for the example MCU you have given.
The Cortex M0 ... M7 - including ST's - all lack the MMU and thus virtual memory to run a proper Linux.

ST has a range of Cortex A devices (STM32MPxxx) for that purpose.

However, there are several ucLinux variants you can try.
I had e.g. experimented successfully with NuttX on STM32s, Atmel and TI devices (mostly Cortex M4).

You can run a minimal and modified linux on f427:

NO!

That's about using Linux as the development Host - it's not about installing linux on the STM32F4 !

Wrong link, use e.g. https://github.com/i25ffz/uclinux-stm32f4

I had once linux boot up od Disco-F42x...

That's ucLinux as @Ozone mentioned - not true linux.

PS:

ST have an Application Note AN3012, Getting started with uClinux™ for STM32F10x high-density devices:
