You can follow below step to read / write the GPIO
Steps
1). You need to reconfigure the kvim_defconfig in kernel
++ CONFIG_GPIO_DEVRES=y
++ CONFIG_GPIOLIB=y
++ CONFIG_OF_GPIO=y
2). The VIM GPIO port number list
GPIOH5: 176
GPIOH6: 177
GPIOH7: 178
GPIOH8: 179
GPIOH9: 180
GPIOAO6: 151
3). Write / Read the GPIO
eg: config the GPIOH5 as high level output
echo 176 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio176/direction
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio176/value
eg: config the GPIOH5 as input
echo 176 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo in > /sys/class/gpio/gpio176/direction
