Subprocess.call( (s,'-x','-d','-d','-d', s1, s2) )ġ) copy code to a file in your fs Ģ) ensure first line points to your python execĤ) set up vbox with com port with named pipe eg /tmp/vbox-com1

Issue #2: Using Vbox usb support ,usb-serial adaptors work (just) but are unreliable to downright flaky. Seems to me changing default behavior to non-enforced pipe at startup, and reattempting connection on loss of pipe would help immensely. Most annoying, especially as usb-serial adaptors are always slightly unreliable. Issue #1: Vbox enforces named pipe presence at startup, and then if port drops during session it fails to reattempt a connection. With the use of pluggable serial ports under vbox there are a number of problematic issues! (linux host, now vbox 2.02, no serial port laptop, XP guest)Ĭannot get direct port to work reliable.named pipes appear to work as advertised. Have had lots of fun getting reliable serial port under vbox on my laptop using usb serial devices.
