Serial ports. Upto Workstation 6.5 you could use max 4 serial ports in a Workstation VM. Serial0.fileName = 'serial-port-2-file.txt'. Useing a named pipe this. Use a physical parallel port: Send output to a physical serial port on the host system. Use output file: Send output to a file on the host system. Either locate an existing output file or browse to a directory and type a filename to create a new output file. Output to named pipe.

- Serial ports. Upto Workstation 6.5 you could use max 4 serial ports in a Workstation VM. With Workstation 7 this has been changed and only up to 2 serial ports can be used.
- I'm on Windows 7. I would like to connect 2 VM(ware) Debian by serial port. First I'm trying to create the 'reader' VM. I tried to add a serial port like this: - name: /dev/ttyS1 - This end is i.
- Networking named-pipes identifier vmware-workstation. Share| improve this question. Asked Feb 23 '13 at 17:44. Click Finish to add the virtual serial port to the virtual machine. G) (Optional) On the Hardware tab, select the new serial port, select Yield CPU on poll, and click OK. Can the dungeon master have a player character?
Trying to write a python program to create a simulated data stream and feed it, through a named pipe, to a VMware virtual machine. The host is running Ubuntu 11.10 and VMware player 5.0.0. The Vm is running Ubuntu netbook 10.04. I am able to get the pipe working on the local machine but I am not able to get the pipe to pass data through the virtual serial port to the programs running on the virtual machine.
- Test to see if the python program is working on the host machine (displays 235959 if data is passing through the pipe)
$ cat /tmp/gpsd2NMEA
235959
- Serial port as defined in the VMware .vmx file:
Serial Port 25 Pin
serial0.present = 'TRUE'
serial0.startConnected = 'TRUE'
serial0.fileType = 'pipe'
serial0.fileName = '/tmp/gpsd2NMEA'
serial0.pipe.endPoint = 'client'
serial0.autodetect = 'FALSE'
serial0.tryNoRxLoss = 'TRUE'
serial0.yieldOnMsrRead = 'TRUE'
- Test to see if the serial port in the VM is receiving data
$ cat /dev/ttyS0
or
$ minicom -D /dev/ttyS0
or
$ stty -F /dev/ttyS0 cs8 -parenb -cstopb 115200
$ echo < /dev/ttyS0

- None of these display any data from the python program.
