PROCESSOR-SDK-AM57X: Legacy Processor's Linux update plan

Genius 3186 points

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM57X

May I have some question about processor's Linux SDK update stance?

I think Linux SDK for old generation processor as AM335x, AM437x, AM57x have not frequently update plan.

And Update is limited by only if there are bugs, kernel was old.

Q1:

Is there any threshold for update?

I want to know threshold llike CVSS.

Q2:

I think Processor-SDK-Linux's kernel used customized by TI.

Is there any indicator such as minimum supply years?

Q3:

If there are any information of Japanese 3rd Party that could developing and maintenance(including pooting newest Linux kernel to customer's software, Even after the SDK(provided by TI) update is finished) embedded Linux,

I am glad if you let me know.

Thanks,

Hello GR.

SDKs are usually updated once per year, but for AM57 you are correct, it has been almost two years. There is a 9.1 release planned for the end of this year, linux kernel migration to 6.1. Minor bug fixes and no new updates. I dont believe we do CVSS thresholds. Is CVSS this: https://www.sans.org/blog/what-is-cvss/
Yes, TI has its own kernel branch, see https://git.ti.com/cgit/ti-linux-kernel/ti-linux-kernel/ . No, there is no general indicator. Please see https://www.ti.com/support-quality/quality-policies-procedures/product-life-cycle.html
No, we do not currently have a Japanese company that we work with directly. Found this one in google: http://www.turbosystems.co.jp/
