The Direct Memory Mapped Driver(DMAP) is an in-developement driver that provides GPIO performance improvements over the default inbox driver. If you use Lighting Driver in your application, you should set the controller driver as Direct Memory Mapped Driver,or there will be exception thrown.As far as i know,there is no more official statement about the detailed difference.
