Raspberry Pi Lifecycle: End Of Life And Support Status
Last updated on April 18, 2024
Raspberry Pi is a low-cost Linux computer that has a set of General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins that let you experiment with the Internet of Things (IoT) and control electronic components for physical computing.
Support status guide
End of life (EOL) is the end of a product’s useful life. When a product reaches the end of its life cycle, the manufacturer no longer supports it. The following table explains the different phases of a product’s lifecycle. Testing status is when the product is initially released and EOL is when product support is no longer offered. The time between these two points is the support timeframe.
Testing
The software is not yet publicly available. It is in testing phase i.e., alpha, beta, release preview etc.
Active
The software is actively supported by the vendor.
Phasing Out
The software will soon reach its end of life. You need to look for upgrade or migration options. The software will automatically go into phasing out status 2 months before end of life.
End Of Life
The software is no longer supported by the vendor. You need to make sure your system and environment are safe.

The Raspberry Pi models run the RaspberryPi OS which is capable of running a variety of Linux distributions.
A declaration of obsolescence on some Raspberry Pi hardware ensures that manufacture will continue until a given date.
