VirtualBox serial port setup frustration. See which ones you want to connect. I think VirtualBox support a maximum of two serial ports at any one time. 2) Look through section 8.5 of that manual. Hardware serial port of the host is specified, the virtual serial port is con-nected to that hardware port. On a Windows host, the device. Using a Virtual USB Serial Port from a Guest OS on VirtualBox October 12, 2017 / 0 Comments / in Uncategorized / by Kevin Godden. Here is a decent set of instructions on how to access normal COM ports as well as USB Virtual com ports from you Guest OS running on VirtualBox.
As an Embedded Software Engineer serial port access is very critical requirement for me irrespective off which OS I am using and how I am using it (I mean with or without virtualization).
I have Windows XP as primary Operating System, however, I need to work on Linux for lot of hobby projects. I hate to manage two computers for two reasons first is it makes workplace really messy with extra wires and Second is I always need some space to keep items like Power Supplies, Oscilloscopes, Programmers, Debuggers etc. which are unavoidable.
I am having a issue supporting a console port. I'm running Virtual Box 4.3.16 (latest) I entered under settings for Virtual Box: x Enable serial port x Host Pipe x create pipe Port/File Path:. Pipe COM1 When I start the VBox Windows7 and launch Putty, then type in COM1, but there is no connection.it just blinks. That is it on the VirtualBox side, now to configure Putty! Connecting with Putty. Open Putty; Under connection type, choose “Serial” In the “Serial Line” text box put in the name of the pipe that you used in the Virtual Serial port setup, in our case. Pipe comportname; Leave the “Speed” setting at 9600 and hit connect. Apparently not all serial ports play nice. I noticed the FTDI based serial would work while de SiLabs based one wont. Noticed an odd thing that may or may not be linked to this. Clicking on the advanced serial port options at the device properties if the window looks like this it doesnt work, but if it looks like this one it will.
So I installed Kubuntu as Guest OS on my Windows Host and I wanted to access the host serial port for debugging purposes. Virtual Box does provide this feature and its quite easy to configure as well. The problem is, it can be done in more then one way and that’s where user might get confused that’s why I am writing this post.

Can you just enable the serial port for that particular VM?
In VirtualBox, make sure your VM is not powered up, and
- Right Click your VM
- Click settings,
- Choose the 'Serial Ports' menu
- Select which Serial port you wich to pass through
- Click the checkbox to enable it.
you can also change settings for the serial ports from this screen.

Virtualbox Serial Port Connection On Laptop
I found this question, and found the existing answer less than satisfactory. Here's how I solved a similar problem.
I have OpenSuSE 12.2 running as a guest on VirtualBox 4.2 on a Windows (Vista) host. I want to communicate with an X10 'Firecracker' serial device. What worked for me was
The key here, which was not obvious to me, was to select 'Host Device' and enter, seemingly redundantly, 'COM1' as the host path. I did NOT select 'Create Pipe'.

Virtualbox allows each VM to have two serial ports. I tried everything under the sun to get this to work on the first of these ports (Settings | Serial Ports | Port 1 tabbed page).

Eventually I removed the check mark from 'Enable Serial Port' on port 1 and then tried Port 2 instead. It worked instantly, the Guest could use the host's physical serial port.
