Here is a quick example using libsimpleio:

WITH GPIO.libsimpleio;
WITH RaspberryPi;

PROCEDURE test_gpio IS

  outp : CONSTANT GPIO.Pin :=
    GPIO.libsimpleio.Create(RaspberryPi.GPIO18, GPIO.Output);

BEGIN
  LOOP
    outp.Put(True);
    outp.Put(False);
  END LOOP;
END test_gpio;

On a Raspberry Pi 4, which is what happens to be plugged in today, I measured a 360 kHz square wave at GPIO 18.  Never mess around with memory mapped I/O unless you need insanely high performance.  Then you would probably want to use DMA anyway.
