HOW TO ACCESS pin 5 of CONNECTOR 11 GPIO by modifying the excellent wiringPi library, which works with XU4 but was originally designed for XU3:

My contribution here is something I solved, which is unavailable from all my internet searches. User:Definitionofis owns the Odroid XU4 and there is a connector CONN11 not documented in wiringPi for GPIO use because the XU4 is an upgrade from XU3. https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-xu4/software/gpio_register_map#gpio_port_register_map Also see: https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-xu4/odroid-xu4 for operating system installation.

You can modify the C language file odroidxu3.c which has a placeholder filled with several -1 items as an error return code. The XU3 and XU4 both have 1 to 40 pins accessible from the Shifter Shield. I used all the GPIO (GPX) IN/OUT pins with success. That is the 40 pin connector. https://wiki.odroid.com/accessory/add-on_boards/xu4_shift_shield

Here is the library wiringPi which I started with: https://github.com/hardkernel/wiringPi and you will find a file odroidxu3.c in there.

See the other 12 pin connector of the XU4. Pin 5 is a GPX3.2 IN/OUT pin. I will arbitrarily call it pin 45 although the first connector has 40 pins, and this pin 5 is on the 12 pin connector. Better naming would require much more extensive edits of all the C code so live with this naming as "pin 45". The CPU register space sees it as mathematically adjacent to GPX3.1, which is pin 36, GPX3.1 and CONN11/pin 5 is GPX3.2. https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-xu4/software/gpio_register_map#gpio_port_register_map

You can simply change one number from -1 to 34 without understanding why:

Change odroidxu3.c and recompile the library. Then you can simply do things like digitalWrite(45, 1); and pinMode (45, OUTPUT ) and instead of getting a return -1 error you will get proper success where previously the range of pins was 1 to 40.

Here is the change to odroidxu3.c See the number 34 in there, just below "//Not Used"? That was a -1. Change the -1 to a 34 and recompile. That is all you have to do. That 34 is in the 45th position thus pin 45.

};

I am using Phys mode. I never tested other modes.

Here is a transistor switch to upgrade the different 1.8v GPIO output to match the 5v of all the other GPIOs on the odroid board. [[1]]
