If the drivers run on an x86, they run on a rpi4. I am running a realtime
kernel, and linuxcnc to run an 11x54 Sheldon lathe about 75 yo. And
trying to convince the lcnc folks to add it back into their
distribution. See everything you need to make it run on Raspbian 10.2 at
the link in my sig, add "lathe-stf/" to the address line, and you'll see
a linuxcnc4rpi4 subdir, click on that and download what you need after
reading the README. Intended to drive a Mesa interface card, which needs
a 1 millisecond servo-thread, the jitter just now was 45 microseconds.
1/20th of the the max allowed. So it does that job in what is
effectively real time.
