from that buster install on an rppi4b:
uname -a:
Linux rpi4.coyote.den 4.19.71-rt24-v7l+ #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Thu Feb 6 
07:09:18 EST 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux

which is a homebrewed pinned kernel for machinery control, built from 
linux-rt srcs and installed by me, first ti 2015 or so on an rpi3b but 
the 4b has lots more giddyup. I did this originally to see if it would 
be done, first on the planet and my questions did not fit the fundation 
image of what they figured the pi was for. So I'm banned from al pi 
related forums etc.

They see it as an entertainment toy, and actually doing something useful 
was blasphemous.  Tuff titty said this old Iowa farm boy.

I've since added a pile of arm stuff here at the Heskett ranchette. 
Most recently a 4 pack of banana pi m5's running armbian bullseye, 
driving 3d printers. Pretty good for an 88 yo.  The pi folks would not 
tell me how to install that kernel, so I made a 28 meg tarball out of 
it, you can download that tarball from my web page in the sig, install 
raspios in armhf flavor to the sd card, unpack that tarball and copy the 
two directories to the sd card, put the card back in the pi and reboot, 
instant realtime preempt kernel.

Your trivia factoid for the day. armhf because the stack frame is 
smaller, making the preempt faster. latency-test if I'm not browsing the 
web with firefox is 12 microseconds. Fast enough to run 1500 lbs of a 85 
yo lathe, correcting for its wear and tear over the years.

But now I'm trying to make a newer nut than 2.7.4 run on it...
I just checked one of the arm64's running armbian bullseye, and the nut 
available from the debian arm64 repo's is still 2.7.4-13, so there 
really is not a newer one from debian, that is 5 years old!

Thanks Greg, take care & stay well.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
