Looking at https://releases.linaro.org/debian/boards/snapdragon/latest/
I can see I need boot-qcom-apq8064-cm-qs600-qcom-snapdragon-20151210-20.img.gz and qcom-apq8064-cm-qs600.dtb for the Utilite but not sure if it supports the Version 1 devices ?
The Utilite 1 is based on iMX processor. the Utilite 2 is using Qualcomm APQ8064. The Linaro images are intended for APQ8064, so they won't work on Utilite1.
I am really not sure what to do with all the files to make a distro with them and Jessie though I have an idea what they are and am used to x86 Linux ISO's.
As said previously, Linaro is not a 'distro'. We are building reference images for a certain number of platforms (based on SoC from our members generally). Our images are based of existing distro (Debian, Android, .. ).
If you want to look at how we are making our images, you can inspect our Jenkins build jobs. For example the image that you are looking at (Debian/Jessie for Snapdragon) is made using this script:
https://git.linaro.org/ci/job/configs.git/blob/HEAD:/lt-qcom-debian-images.y...
It should give you an idea about what it takes to create such images. It is not very difficult to make your own Debian images, assuming that you have a working kernel tree for your platform. All the tools/scripts we use to make our images are publicly available.
