It’s smaller, cheaper and uses less power than a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. If you’re struggling to get your hands on a Raspberry Pi, now might be a good time to start experimenting with the Raspberry Pi Pico W. Remember to bring your reading glasses!įor more information on these demo projects check out Hyping Pixels on Dave’s blog. Whilst it’s not the ideal way to experience Ubuntu Desktop, it’s certainly a novelty to see it running on such a small screen, with touch support. It means that with Ubuntu 22.10, you can now use the Hyperpixel display range, the Raspberry Pi Official Touchscreen Display and the Inky eInk series out of the box. This migration has made supporting display HATs easier since Ubuntu can now treat them as a standard display with only minor tweaks. Get hyped for Hyperpixelsīehind the scenes, the graphics stack for the Raspberry Pi has undergone a significant transition, moving from fake KMS (or fkms) which involved closed-source firmware running on the GPU separately from the Linux kernel, to the open-source ‘full’ KMS (or, confusingly, just kms) which puts the Linux kernel directly in charge. We’ll run through these highlights and more in the rest of this post, but as usual Dave ‘Waveform’ Jones, our resident Raspberry Pi engineer at Canonical, has put together a suite of detailed blog posts to provide additional backstory to each feature.
In addition we’ve worked hard to support the Raspberry Pi’s even smaller cousin, the Raspberry Pi Pico W with the full MicroPython stack now available in the Ubuntu repositories. In this release, Ubuntu now supports a range of embedded display HATs as well as under-the-hood improvements to the GPIO stack as we transition from RPI.GPIO to lgpio (more about that later).
When it comes to Raspberry Pi support, the theme of Ubuntu 22.10 is definitely embedded devices.
