Gene,

Here is an unofficial site 
<http://unofficialpi.org/Distros/RealtimePi/nightly/> for raspberry pi systems.
Take a look at:

I believe this stuff is all 32bit.

Yeah, the Pine64 group is much smaller than the raspberry pi group. I bought a 
Pine64 A64+ during the kickstarter campaign. I have it running a vanilla kernel 
and I have never succeeded in getting the LCD screen that I bought with it 
working. One of the guys over at machinekit got it working on a pine64. 
Personally, I wish I had waited, I really like the features of the RockPro64 
(4gb ram, USB3.0, and gigabit ethernet. I may buy one of them to play with and 
see if I can get preempt-rt working. For me I hate the fact that the ethernet 
runs on the USB bus.

Do you have a picture of how you connected the rpi3b SPI to the 7i90HD?
