The Raspberry Pi (and PiOS in particular is where I do all my testing). I did have it running on an early Debian Buster release (both 32- and 64-bit versions). It should work on Ubuntu but I haven’t done any testing and you will have to work out the correct build procedure. The current kernel code has been tested as far as kernel 5.4.70.

I have no plans to to work on the LAT protocol. You may be able to use the older programs but any kernel mode code will probably need changing.
