If you or any applications on the virtual machine you are working on have to have access to a serial port on host OS, try one of the following solutions. Serial ports are also required when you debug applications. So what do we do if we need a serial device access in virtual machine – a modem, a scanner or a printer? Vmdemux creates multiple named-pipe sessions across the COM connection: one channel for debugging windows hypervisor and one channel for debugging the root partition.Ĭommon problem: It often happens that in the virtual environment we cannot work with serial ports, as virtualization software tools usually do not support their throughput. Locate the directory where the windows debugging tool is installed and type: vmdemux -src com:port=com1,baud=115200.
