node-serialport: Serial port commnunication does not work inside a Worker Thread

Summary of Problem

Opening a serial port from within a worker thread fails with:

Error: Module did not self-register.

Code to Reproduce the Issue

github repo: hugo-a-garcia/serial-worker

const {
   Worker, isMainThread, parentPort, workerData
} = require('worker_threads');

const SerialPort = require("serialport");
   const Readline = SerialPort.parsers.Readline;

if (isMainThread) {
   console.log("In main thread");

   const worker = new Worker(__filename);
   worker.on('message', msg => {
      console.log(msg);
   });
   worker.on('error', err => {
      console.error("Oops " + err)
   });
   worker.on('exit', (code) => {
      if (code !== 0)
         console.log(`Worker stopped with exit code ${code}`);
   });

} else {
   console.log("In worker thread");
 
   const port = new SerialPort("/dev/ttyACM0", {
       baudRate: 9600
   });
   
   const parser = new Readline
   port.pipe(parser);
   parser.on("data", (data) => console.log(data));
   
   // port.on('readable', function () {
   //     console.log(port.read().toString());
   // });
   
   port.on('error', function (err) {
       console.log('Error: ', err.message);
   });

   parentPort.postMessage("Done.");
}
