It can run a variety of linux variants. But all ARM processors that I am aware of can, even going back to the chip in the old Acorn Archimedes from the late '80s. Also, I have personally never heard of a chip that is able to run android but not able to run linux and I am not entirely sure how you would even go about making one.
