PREEMPT_RT Kernel Patch with Mendel OS?

[nichite]

Description

I'm hoping to run a C++ process on the Coral Dev Board Mini that I'd like to be inside a realtime thread. I was looking into installing the PREEMPT_RT kernel patch to facilitate this.

However, it looks like the version of the Linux kernel running on the latest version of Mendel OS is 4.19.125-mtk. From my understanding of the PREEMPT_RT documentation, to install the patch you need to match versions pretty precisely to successfully rebuild the kernel, but I don't see this kernel version supported: https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/ list:

I see patches for 4.19.124 and 4.19.127 but not 4.19.125. Should I up/downgrade the Linux kernel or switch to an older version of Mendel OS for this? Has anyone had success getting the RT kernel patch applied, or should I switch to a different OS on the Dev Board Mini altogether? I was hoping to stay on Mendel OS to avoid any issues using the TPU.
