Problems with serialRead()

I'm having trouble making a serial reading of my Serial3 port on an Arduino Mega.
I have a Arduino Mega with this simple program:
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
Serial.println("Serial print from serial");
delay(5000);
}
This Mega Arduino is connected to another that has "Standard Firmata" loaded. The connection scheme is the following:
TX0 -> RX3
RX0 -> TX3
My JS file is as follows:
import firmata from 'firmata'
const board = new firmata.Board('/dev/cu.usbmodem14201')
board.on('ready', () => {
const serialPort = board.SERIAL_PORT_IDs.HW_SERIAL3;
board.serialConfig({
portId: serialPort,
baud: 9600
})
board.serialRead(serialPort, (data) => {
console.log(Buffer.from(data).toString('ascii'))
console.log('Serial port reading')
})
board.on('string', (message) => { console.log(message) })
console.log('Connected board...')
})
The connection is established correctly but I do not get any serial reading...
I am doing something wrong?
Thanks a lot

Solve the problem using the StandardFirmataPlus library.
Thanks a lot
