SERIAL PORT VIRTUALIZATION FOR EMBEDDED APPLICATIONS

摘要

A system comprising a communication (COM) port server that, together with a COM port client, establishes COM port redirection over a network and communicates data with a serial port, at least one embedded application which is configured to communicate data via a serial port, and at least one virtual serial port application communicatively coupled to the embedded application and the COM port server. The virtual serial port application translates data communicated between the COM port server and the embedded application as if the COM port server and the embedded application were connected by a serial communication link.
