Overview

Product Longevity

Embedded systems are the backbone of many modern technologies, from smartphones and automobiles to industrial machinery and medical devices. These systems rely on a combination of hardware and software to perform specific functions and are often designed to be long-lasting and reliable.

However, even the most robust systems eventually reach their end-of-life (EOL) and must be replaced. Understanding EOL policies and planning for system replacement are crucial for ensuring the continued operation and reliability of embedded systems.

Trucrux End-of-life policies is implemented
considering number of reasons.

Product Support:

As systems age, manufacturers may discontinue support for older products. This can make it difficult or impossible to get software updates, bug fixes, or technical support.

Security Risks:

As systems age, they may become vulnerable to security threats that were not present at the time they were designed. Manufacturers may no longer provide security updates to protect against these risks.

Obsolescence:

As new technologies and standards are developed, older systems may become obsolete. This can make it difficult or impossible to integrate these systems with newer technologies.

Reliability:

As systems age, the likelihood of failure increases. This can lead to costly downtime and repairs.
