I noticed that for example for i.MX6 Quad (released in 2011), Android 8 is supported. Android 8 is still supported by Google.
If I take today i.MX8 mini that supports Android 9, for how many years I can expect Android versions that are still supported by Google? What is the NXP strategy about Android?
Hello Anas El HajjajiI,
Usually the latest two Android versions for a given board are still supported by NXP, but this does not include further updates and patches.
As you can see on the link below, there is usually a couple of Android BSP releases per Android version, but there is not a constant update schedule. You would need to rely on Google’s updates to keep your Android current.
As for when the next Android BSP will be available, there is not a public roadmap or Android releases but your NXP FAE might be able to provide more insight in this regard.
My apologies for the inconvenience.
Regards,
