New pi 4 hardware 64 bit support

[lah7]

If you mean the Raspberry Pi 4 hardware specifically, then it's not supported at the moment. Watch this topic for updates:

Support for Raspberry Pi 4?

I won't be giving at ETA because I'll be working on this project in my spare time which will be in short supply in the coming months. I have 2 Pi 4 devices and am just as keen to get them running Ubuntu MATE as anyone else

I've heard that current images designed for the Pi 2 & 3 models are unlikely to boot on the Pi 4, however others may have experimented in the meantime.

GPIO works:

Use of rpi.gpio in ubuntu mate

raspi-gpio is pre-installed, so it should work out of the box. One way to interface with the GPIO is with python: >>> import RPi.GPIO as GPIO For example: >>> GPIO.setup(18, GPIO.OUT) >>> GPIO.output(18, False)

I believe the Pi images use hardware acceleration where possible. Others who use Ubuntu Mate on the Pi frequently will be able to comment further.
