Title: Olinuxino Maxi Lifecycle
Post by: jim_butz on May 02, 2013, 04:30:16 PM
I've purchased a few of the Olinuxino Maxi boards and they are working great.  I'd like to design them into a commercial product but I don't know the intended lifecycle of the product.

Can someone from Olimex provide a timeline for product support for the Olinuxino?  Will this product be available in 3 years, 5 years?

I understand that the design files are available and that they can be built but it sure is nice buying from Mouser and having them show up on the doorstep.

Thanks for a great product - hope to hear good news on the amount of time the product will be supported.

Jim

we produce our boards as long as we can purchase the components which they contain
in iMX233-OLinuXino case iMX233 is in Freescale longivity program which means Freescale guarantee to produce them 10 years since they start, iMX233 is already 4 years old, this means Freescale will produce them till 2018-2019
