That I don't know, if the hardware has been changed from the 2gig rpi4b I 
bought last spring. This hardware and kernel has the new video drivers, 
replacing the glacial framebuffers the rpi3 had. Raspian, if asked 
nicely, has the srcs for a preempt-rt kernel, but you are 100% on your 
own to build and install it.  That is what I started with but I've 
seriously stripped it to stop wasting time building stuff for all the 
other arm family kissing cousins.

pi400? never heard of it.

URL to buy one, maybe more?  Found it, too much usefull i/o has 
disappeared, so I'm not that interested. I am using all 4 usb jacks + 
spi at 40 megabit write and 25 megabit reads, but I suspect that would 
crash and burn at much lower speeds with a cable to a 7i90 much longer 
than the inch I'm using. And I'm not willing to dedicate the only wired 
ethernet port to a 7c80.

As for odroid-h2, I have a c2 I put over $100 worth of my SS into at the 
time, bricked, trying to install linux thru a UEFI bios that had no 
mandatory off switch. Odroid had zero sympathy.

rpi's so far are not afflicted with that microsoft disease. Odroid is 
therefore not on my vendor list.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
