No hint of the pricing that I could find. And what about support? As in a 
realtime linux kernel?

Haveing been burned by pine with the rock64, thinking it was the pi 
killer it could be, and the rock64 has a hell of a good pedigree, fixing 
or just plain bypassing all the pi's i/o bottlenecks, but zero support, 
I am understandably gun shy.
