Introduction
Introduction
Products based on Jetson AGX Xavier and Jetson Xavier NX often have long operational lifecycles. These products are used in industrial, medical, transportation, robotics, and edge AI applications, and may remain deployed longer than the lifecycle of the underlying platform.
NVIDIA's Jetson Product Lifecycle page provides the current availability and and End-of-Life (EoL) information for Jetson modules and developer kits. As Xavier reaches the later stages of its lifecycle, teams need to plan how to maintain existing hardware and software while meeting ongoing support, security, and validation requirements.
RidgeRun provides a long-term kernel maintenance and integration path for NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier and Jetson Xavier NX, based on a Linux kernel baseline maintained by the Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP).
This wiki documents the platform integration, validation results, build and installation process, known limitations, and available releases. For an overview of the offering, see What RidgeRun is Offering.
