Octalbonescript doesn't work on latest BBB image

[shaunmulligan]

Using this repo (https://gitlab.com/natecontrols-public/resin-octalbonescript-poc.git) to reproduce the issue. One can see that GPIO and UART is correctly initiated, and the code runs as follows:
On resinOS 2.4.2

16.02.18 10:32:16 (+0000) /sbin/udevd
16.02.18 10:32:26 (+0000) GPIO in opened.
16.02.18 10:32:26 (+0000) Serial port opened.

but on ResinOS v2.7.5

I think the update of the overlays here: 2c24080 caused this issue but not sure if it is something the octalbonescript library should handle?

It also appears that octalbonescript is now abandoned as it says this on the repo:

This package is abandoned and no longer maintained. Please use https://www.npmjs.com/package/beaglebone-io to interact with BeagleBone and its variants.
