Rob has done a good job here building a system based on the imager for the
pi I have been working on.
https://github.com/rodw-au/rpi-img-builder-lcnc which I mentioned in an
issue here (be sure to checkout the linuxcnc branch)
https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/2349#issuecomment-1704006992
I've been held up with some unrelated hardware issues but my repo is
working.

I've had some amazing support from Cornelius who developed the upstream
repository I use.
One thing he added on my request allows recording a commit number in
userdata.txt. This lets us match the raspberry  kernel to the latest
Preempt_RT kernel version (6.1.46).

To build an image, just follow the instructions in instructions.txt
<https://github.com/rodw-au/rpi-img-builder-lcnc/blob/linuxcnc/instructions.txt>
If you do run this, the kernel menuconfig will be displayed. Just escape
out of it and continue. we use a custom defconfig so it is not required. To
stop it from being  displayed, set
MENUCONFIG="0" in userdata.txt
<https://github.com/rodw-au/rpi-img-builder-lcnc/blob/linuxcnc/userdata.txt#L8>

The RT kernel and its headers are saved in the output folder.
The last step I want to do is to also save the linuxcnc .debs in the same
folder
