Using the following download: I flashed an SD card and put it into my Raspberry Pi 4. It doesn't boot, instead showing the following error: "This board requires newer software". (Screenshot attached)

Any workaround for that one, apart from setting up Raspbian/Debian from scratch?

I was sure there is no RPI 4 with 1GB of ram, i was wrong :(
First result sheds some light

Yeah, and it's the only model available for sale anywhere at the moment :-/

It's a bit late here now, but I would suggest starting with a standard 64-bit Raspbian install then searching for a packaged RT kernel.
sudo apt-cache search linux-image*

I think it will probably be this one: packages.debian.org/buster/linux-image-rt-arm64

If you find one then the next step is to install is (sudo apt-get installl linux-image....... ) then compile LinuxCNC from source. (As the buildbot is only making 32-bit arm-hf images)

Is there any documentation about configuring the GPIO's? My X86 system died, and I am trying to switch to my RPi4B (8GB).
I managed on the RPi to install LinuxCNC 2.8.2 on an SSD. However the documentation in that kit is not related to GPIO's it seems. Also the latest version of the LinuxCNC_documentation.pdf does not mention them.

I installed the utility rpi-gpio, but have no idea what the generated output means. Are there any GPIO configuration examples?

Thanks,
Robert

LinuxCNC has a driver for the Pi GPIO, but it is barely documented (and as it only builds at all when the target is the Pi it doesn't show up in the lists)

There is an example HAL file, and that's your lot. Sadly.
