What is the End Of Life (EOL) for imx kernel versions 5.15.5, 5.10.9, 2.6.31 and 2.6.28.

How do we find End Of Life (EOL) details for the iMX Kernel versions 5.15.5, 5.10.9, 2.6.31 and 2.6.28 ?

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products,

5.15.x and 5.10.x kernel versions are supported until next year, the rest of the list isn't supported, the hardware isn't recommended for new designs, also, SW teams that coded it aren't complete to this day.

In new designs, I would recommend starting using i.MX 9 series with kernel greater than 6.

Kernel versions are found here.

LTS is found here.

Regards

Thanks for the response. I need more details on this topic. Please help me with below queries.

1. I could see 6.12.20, 6.12.3 as the latest version for iMX6 series as per this page. So, what EOL for 6.12.20, 6.12.3 version ?

2. What is latest kernel available for iMX257 series processors i.e MCIMX257 processor and it's EOL details.
