Transitioning product delivery to upstream Long-Term Support (LTS) components (Linux, U-Boot, Buildroot) presents significant advantages, yet poses challenges. This presentation details a company's experience moving from vendor-specific solutions to upstream, emphasizing the process, hurdles, and ensuing benefits. We explore the strategic shift, highlighting the initial complexities of adapting to upstream workflows. Notably, we analyze the impact on platform maintenance, demonstrating a substantial reduction in time and resources required for updates. By leveraging community-driven LTS releases, the product's security and stability were enhanced, streamlining the delivery pipeline. This analysis underscores the efficacy of upstream adoption in fostering sustainable, efficient product lifecycles, and reducing the overhead associated with maintaining an up-to-date embedded platform.
