Hi,
We have an AGX Xavier in a product that has already gone through validation. The current status of our product is stable, so migrating to a new module would be a significant effort.
With JetPack 5 nearing EoL, how are people planning to handle maintenance for the next few years?
Hi @LearningDev,
Yes, JetPack 5 was scheduled to reach EoL in Q3 2026, as mentioned in NVIDIA’s announcement.
As you mentioned, one option is to migrate to a newer JetPack version, but for Xavier-based products, this would also mean migrating to newer hardware.
Another alternative is extending the maintenance of the existing platform. At RidgeRun, we’re working on providing long-term kernel support for Jetson Xavier using the CIP Linux kernel beyond NVIDIA’s official EoL timeline.
Some details about this approach and the platform features validated so far are available here:

Hope this helps! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Yes, you can continue using JetPack 5. Your current applications and projects will continue to function as they do now. However, you will no longer receive any critical updates.
Our Jetson partner RidgeRun is available to help with ongoing maintenance.
Thanks
Hi,
For existing Xavier products, please consider upgrade to Jetpack 5.1.8 r35.7.
If you would like to develop new products, please consider use Orin or Thor series.
