/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

/dev/gpiomem driver is included as module by default. In order to use gpiomem driver, it is necessary to configure account access permission.

$ sudo addgroup gpio
$ sudo usermod -a -G gpio odroid    
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/90-gpiomem.rules 

• ODROID-C0/C1+/C2

SUBSYSTEM=="meson-gpiomem", GROUP="gpio", MODE="0660"

• ODROID-XU4

SUBSYSTEM=="exynos-gpiomem", GROUP="gpio", MODE="0660"

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.
