01 / LINRT SUBSCRIPTIONS
A subscription designed for product teams
Choose the real-time architecture first, then select the service level that matches your development phase. Licensing scope, named developer access, included assistance and response commitments are confirmed in a tailored proposal.

03 / SUBSCRIPTION LIFECYCLE
How annual subscriptions work
Commercial terms remain transparent without publishing fixed prices or outdated hardware-specific conditions.
Scope & activate
Confirm the distribution, qualified SoM, number of authorized developers and support level. Access is provisioned to the agreed source repositories.
Develop & get support
Use the LinRT HelpDesk portal to open, track and document tickets. The agreed allowance covers technical assistance during the active term.
Extend or upgrade
Move to a higher HelpDesk level or add support capacity during the term, subject to an agreed quotation.
Renew annually
Renewal sustains access to updates, HelpDesk services and applicable source mirrors. Non-renewal ends subscription services under the agreement.
04 / HELPDESK & CONTINUITY
Engineering support beyond BSP delivery
HelpDesk & service operation
Customer engineers submit support requests through a dedicated portal with ticket history, attachments and email notifications. Requests can be assigned a priority; applicable response objectives, credit accounting and exclusions are specified in the subscription agreement. HelpDesk business hours: Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–4:30 PM US Eastern Time (excluding published closures and holidays).
Source continuity & updates
During an active subscription, LinRT can provide managed source access, BSP updates and mirror services for packages no longer available from upstream locations, within the agreed support scope. Open-source licenses remain applicable to the software delivered.
05 / CYBER RESILIENCE ACT
COMING EARLY 2027
CRA Certification Kit — planned early 2027
Alongside the planned LinRT 6.x release, the CRA Certification Kit is intended to help customers prepare product-level cybersecurity evidence: software bills of materials, vulnerability assessment workflows, security verification procedures and traceable technical documentation.
The kit is a conformity-assessment support tool, not a certificate. Its availability, scope and subscription terms will be confirmed at launch.
Important: This page is an overview of the proposed service model, not a binding service-level agreement. Availability, included support quotas, source access, GPU/VPU enablement, security deliverables and maintenance periods depend on the written subscription and qualified SoM/BSP configuration.
