Hi @PhilDou ,

Did you try to install MRAA library in your new Ubuntu?
There, you could access to GPIO via Python.

Cheers!

Wonder if there is a kernel that supports GPIO for Ubuntu 17.10?

It is my impression that there will not be one for the new LTS release 18.04 until maybe this fall?

Hi @Kurt,

Yes, you are right.

Ubuntu 17.10 is not supported yet for UP board to use your GPIOs.

Thank you!
