Not able to read "/dev/ttyMFD1" using serialport module in Intel XDK

Hi community,

I am trying to read the data sent by my Ardunio IDE to pin "0" of Galileo . In the edison console , i am able to see the correct data sent using the command "cat /dev/ttyMFD1".

But if i am using the serialport module in Node.js (XDK) , it opens the port ut not able to read the data. Any hints?

Here is the code:-

var serialport = require("serialport")

var SerialPort = serialport.SerialPort;

serialport.list(function (err, ports) {

  ports.forEach(function(port) {

    console.log(port.comName);

  });

});

var serialPort = new SerialPort("/dev/ttyMFD1", {

  baudrate: 9600,

  dataBits: 8, // this is the default for Arduino serial communication

  parity: 'none', // this is the default for Arduino serial communication

  stopBits: 1, // this is the default for Arduino serial communication

  flowControl: false, // this is the default for Arduino serial communication

  parser: serialport.parsers.readline("\r\n")

});

var readdata = '';

serialPort.on('open', showPortOpen);

serialPort.on('data', saveLatestData);

serialPort.on('close', showPortClose);

//serialPort.on('error', showError);

function showPortOpen() {

   console.log('port open. Data rate: ' + serialPort.options.baudRate);

}

function showPortClose() {

   console.log('port closed.');

}

function saveLatestData(data) {

    readdata += data.toString();

    console.log(readdata);

}
