serial ports VMX-file parameters   uncomplete ... you can use max 4 serial ports

 

 

serial0.present = "TRUE" serial0.fileType = "device" serial0.fileName = "/dev/ttyS0 " serial0.tryNoRxLoss = "FALSE" serial0.autodetect = "FALSE"

Linux-host useing physical device /dev/ttyS0

serial0.present = "TRUE" serial0.fileType = "device" serial0.fileName = "COM1" serial0.tryNoRxLoss = "FALSE" serial0.autodetect = "FALSE"

Windows-host useing a physical device com1

serial0.present = "TRUE" serial0.fileType = "device" serial0.tryNoRxLoss = "FALSE" serial0.autodetect = "TRUE"

this settings use an autodetected host-device

serial0.present = "TRUE" serial0.fileType = "file" serial0.fileName = "serial-port-2-file.txt" serial0.tryNoRxLoss = "FALSE"

this settings use the file "serial-port-2-file.txt"

serial0.present = "TRUE" serial0.fileType = "pipe" serial0.fileName = "\\.\pipe\com_1" serial0.tryNoRxLoss = "TRUE" serial0.pipe.endPoint = "server"

useing a named pipe this end is the server the other end is an application

serial0.present = "TRUE" serial0.fileType = "pipe" serial0.fileName = "\\.\pipe\com_1" serial0.tryNoRxLoss = "FALSE" serial0.pipe.endPoint = "server"

useing a named pipe this end is the server the other end is a VM

serial0.present = "TRUE" serial0.fileType = "pipe" serial0.fileName = "\\.\pipe\com_1" serial0.tryNoRxLoss = "TRUE" serial0.pipe.endPoint = "client"

useing a named pipe this end is the client the other end is an application

serial0.present = "TRUE" serial0.fileType = "pipe" serial0.fileName = "\\.\pipe\com_1" serial0.tryNoRxLoss = "FALSE" serial0.pipe.endPoint = "client"

useing a named pipe this end is the client the other end is a VM

 

 

serial0.present	main switch
serial0.startConnected	true connects device at startup
serial0.fileName serial0.fileType serial0.tryNoRxLos serial0.autodetect serial0.pipe.endPoint	see examples for usage as they must be combined in a special way
serial0.yieldOnMsrRead	yuild CPU on poll
serial0.baseAddr
serial0.irq
serial0.allowGuestConnectionControl	use true to allow control via vmware-tools
serial0.hardwareFlowControl = "TRUE"
