JetPack 5 is scheduled to reach End of Life (EoL) in Q3 2026. After this date, NVIDIA will no longer provide new JetPack 5 releases, and official support will transition fully to newer JetPack branches. We recommend developers and customers to begin planning their migration and post EoL plans based on product timelines and platform needs. For customers who require continued maintenance or extended support for JetPack 5 beyond its EoL, we recommend engaging with our ecosystem partner RidgeRun.
A few FAQs
Q: Can I continue using or shipping products based on JetPack 5 after EoL?
A: Yes. JetPack 5 can continue to be used and shipped, but ongoing maintenance and updates will no longer be provided by NVIDIA. For Jetson Orin platforms that are currently on JetPack 5, we strongly recommend to start transition plans to the latest JetPack 6 release or upcoming JetPack 7.2 release.
Q: What if I need support after JetPack 5 reaches EoL?
A: Customers needing continued maintenance or fixes should work with NVIDIA ecosystem partner RidgeRun.
Q: When should I start planning migration?
A: If you plan to migrate to a newer release, we recommend to start as early as possible, to allow sufficient time for migration, validation, and production readiness.
