First of all virtual box wont create a Serial port for your host. So you have to create 2 virtual COM ports in host using some other software and bridge these two ports virtually. Then use one port to connect to simulink and other must be setup in such a way that VM COM port uses this port. For creating virtual com port in windows I will be using com0com from. You can use any software you like. After installing com0com, open setuppg.exe from C: Program Files (x86) com0com.

Now click apply. Now you will have COM9 and COM10 bridged (Its like COM9 and COM10 are internally connected) Next we need to connect COM9 port in Host to COM1 port in Guest OS for that open Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager and open the settings of your required Virtual Machine. Now, select Serial Ports and setup like shown below and click OK.

NOTE: windows provides legacy names only for COM ports 1 through to 9. For all other COM ports you must use the full device naming convention under windows. So if you decide to use COM10 instead of COM9. Putting COM10 at Path/Address wont work.

Oct 06, 2008 It's the host pipe serial-port. On VirtualBox. Running under Windows-XP guest via this virtual serial port. Piped Serial Port on VirtualBox.

Instead you have to use. COM10 Now start your Virtual Machine and your ports are ready. Now ports will be shown in simulink and connect to COM10 in this scenario and in Virtual Machine connect your QGroundControl station to COM1.

Simulink COM10(Host) COM10(Host) COM9(Host) >>Connected using com0com COM9(Host) COM1(Guest) >>Connected by Oracle VM VirtualBox COM1(Guest) QGroundControl station.

I have a device that I need to program through a serial port. The problem is my laptop doesn't a serial port. I do however have a serial-to-USB cable that I can plug in. I can then set it to use COM1.

So to program the device in question I have to boot to a floppy drive and run the programming application in a DOS environment. In order for the serial-to-USB cable driver to work I have to have Windows running.

To work around this problem I thought I could use a virtual machine in Hyper-V or VirtualBox that could map a serial port to a named pipe. Here's where I'm getting confused. It would seem like what I need to do is somehow serve my COM1 port to a named pipe on my laptop. I could then point the virtual machine to that named pipe. I see how to point the virtual machine to a named pipe.

I just don't see how to 'serve' that named pipe from my laptop. I've read around about creating named pipes and such, but I still don't see how to map my COM1 port to the named pipe so I can then in turn connect to it with a virtual machine.

Is this possible to do? Is my thought process flawed? Rising Down The Roots Rar Download more. Interesting information in those links.

Thanks for that. I'll continue studying them more, but the information is geared for VMware. I'm using either Hyper-V (prefered) or Sun VirtualBox if I have to. If you have anything geared more toward Hyper-V that would be great. I think I understand how to set up the Hyper-V side to connect to the named pipe.

I think what I have to do is figure out how to get the COM port linked to the named pipe so I can then connect the Hyper-V machine to it. Would you know how to do that part specifically? There's a lot of information in the links you provided so I'll keep looking.
