Serial port crash on startup with 11.0.4 on ARM

See original GitHub issue

Problem/Motivation

In 11.0.4 on ARM devices, serial port nodes crash Node-RED. Root cause is https://github.com/serialport/node-serialport/issues/2438

Expected behavior

Node-RED starts up and works

Actual behavior

[16:07:23] INFO: Starting Node-RED...
> start
> node $NODE_OPTIONS node_modules/node-red/red.js "--settings" "/etc/node-red/config.js"
28 Feb 16:07:26 - [info] 
Welcome to Node-RED

28 Feb 16:07:34 - [info] Starting flows
[16:07:37] INFO: Starting Node-RED...

And this repeats over and over, no error messages I can find.

Full log: log.txt

Steps to reproduce

Just on startup, every time. In case it is related to my config. All my config is in a git project that can be found here: https://github.com/FoxDenHome/nodered

Proposed changes

If this is widespread, unpublish the update or hotfix

Finally figured out how to roll back. You only need to roll back node-red-node-serialport.

In Home Assistant, go to the NodeRed add-on. Then go to the configuration for the add-on. Next to npm packages to install, put “node-red-node-serialport@0.15.0”.

Then save and restart the NR add-on. This will revert node-red-node-serialport to the previous version that was working.

Agreed. But for sure keep this open so people who find their 11.0.4 crashing. From this it seems like everyone who uses a serial port and is using an ARM-based device will be affected.
