===== Rootless GPIO access: /dev/gpiomem =====
///dev/gpiomem// provides user with root-free access to the GPIO registers. Opening ///dev/gpiomem// device file and calling //mmap()// function will map the GPIO registers' memory map area to the user's pointer.\\
This driver is added in below's Ubuntu kernel versions:
  * ODROID-C2: 3.14.79-105 kernel version or later
  * ODROID-C0/C1+: 3.10.104-182 kernel version or later
  * ODROID-XU4: 4.9.x kernel version or later

==== How to enable gpiomem driver ====
///dev/gpiomem// driver is included as module by default. In order to use gpiomem driver, it is necessary to configure account access permission.
<code>
$ sudo addgroup gpio
$ sudo usermod -a -G gpio odroid    
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/90-gpiomem.rules 
</code>
  * **ODROID-C0/C1+/C2**
<code>
SUBSYSTEM=="meson-gpiomem", GROUP="gpio", MODE="0660"
</code>
  * **ODROID-XU4**
<code>
SUBSYSTEM=="exynos-gpiomem", GROUP="gpio", MODE="0660"
</code>
==== Example ====
Hardkernel's wiringPi library which is for GPIO control uses ///dev/gpiomem// device file for rootless gpio control. Usage is very simple. Just open ///dev/gpiomem// device file instead of ///dev/mem//.
