Many thanks for the answer, this was exactly the info I was looking
for. For some reason your email never hit my mailbox, so I'm answering
via Luis.

I plan to use buildroot on a headless PC as well but with plain
preempt_rt. What I always fear when changing hardware is to loose weeks
because you need to enable or disable some obscure flag when building
the kernel.

Did you meet any issues or a vanilla kernel should just work out of the
box? Sharing the buildroot config file would be awesome, but I can
understand this is not always possible.

Thank you again.
