To clarify, the issue with the X4 is that it essentially is no different than having a Pi Pico attached via USB.
This means that your x86 program doesn’t directly control the GPIOs, it must communicate with the RP2040 over USB serial. The RP2040 must be flashed with a firmware that knows how to handle these serial commands.
It works, but it’s an extra step and timing may be an issue.
On the other hand, a Raspberry Pi Linux program can toggle GPIO pins natively simply by using the official libraries.
I mentioned the RP1 in another comment.
