https://aws.amazon.com/polly/ Last AWS re:Invent 2020, we announced https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-freertos-long-term-support-to-provide-years-of-feature-stability/ (LTS) that offers a more stable foundation than standard releases, as manufacturers deploy and later update devices in the field. In 2021, FreeRTOS LTS released https://freertos.org/2021/03/freertos-long-term-support-now-includes-aws-iot-over-the-air-update-aws-iot-device-defender-and-aws-iot-jobs-libraries.html to include https://freertos.org/ota/index.html (OTA) update, https://freertos.org/iot-device-defender/index.html, and https://freertos.org/iot-jobs/index.html libraries that provides feature stability, security patches, and critical bug fixes for the next two years. Today, I am happy to announce https://www.freertos.org/EMP.html, which allows embedded developers to receive critical bug fixes and security patches on their chosen FreeRTOS LTS version for up to 10 years beyond the expiry of the initial LTS period. FreeRTOS EMP lets developers improve device security (or helps keep devices secure) for years, save on operating system upgrade costs, and reduce the risks associated with patching their devices.

For example, a subscription for FreeRTOS 202012.01 LTS, whose LTS period ends March 2023, may be renewed annually for up to 10 years (i.e., March 2033).
