How to access host serial port from emulator

[ronyhuda]

Hi,

Using the documentation, I've already written a program in embedded visual c++ to access serial port "COM1:" from emulator. Execution of this program in emulator shows that the port is connected.

I used a null modem to connect com1 and com2 of my pc. By using Hyper terminal (for com2), I tried to check whether something is coming from com1. But it seems that my physical com1 is not connected with emulator.

Even I can connect com1 by hyper terminal when emulator program is running.

Can anybody tell me how to map my physical com port with the emulator?

Thanks

I can only tell you how to do it in Visual Studio.Net - hopefully you can do something similar in whatever environment you're using.

In VS.Net I go to the 'Tools' menu, select 'Options', go to the 'Device Tools' item and then the 'Devices' sub-item. I select the device I'm interested in. Next to the 'Startup Server' drop-down there is a 'Configure' button. This brings up a dialog with 3 tabs, one of which is 'Hardware'. On that tab there are drop-downs for mapping serial and parallel ports.

Hope that helps.
