Named Pipe Serial Port(Use named pipe)

You can add a named pipe serial port for connecting a virtual machine to an application or

to another virtual machine that is running on the host system.

Pip Name:

namedpipe # 任意 String

i.e.

\\.\pipe\namedpipe

X End

Near End: Local (Server(被 connect) / Client(connect人))

Far End: Remote (A virtual machine / A process )   # "A virtual machine" 就可以

• A virtual machine: 兩 VM 的 serial port 互連
• A process: VM Host 去連 serial port

Expand I/O Mode to select Yield CPU on poll, which is deselected by default.

The kernel in the target virtual machine uses the virtual serial port in polled mode, not interrupt mode.

Inside Client VM

minicom -b 115200 -D /dev/ttyS0
