ROS / Adlink CM2-BT2 (PC104-SBC) SMBus driver incompatibility

edit

This question is getting super specific, but I would appreciate if anybody has seen something like this with other hardware?

Ubuntu 16.04.6 ROS Kinetic full install Adlink CM2-BT2 (PC104 SBC) Adlink's "SEMA" SM-Bus driver to access on-board-GPIO

I am having the problem where Adlink's GPIO example code is working as expected when running on the SBC without ROS. However, if a node is built using Adlink's shared library upon execution, a core-dump/memory trace occurs. This occurs without any manipulation of GPIO state simply attempting to execute a node build with the Adlink shared object.

The suspect test only contains ros::init() and is liked to the Adlink provided .so file as well as library header files. Simply linking in the .so seems to cause the node to fail. If either ros::init() or the .so are absent, the node will execute.

I am currently talking to one of their sales engineers, but I was curious if anybody has seen anything like this with other SBC's onboard GPIO?

Thanks in advance.
