On which serial port numbers will see Qemu Guest OSes the attached serial ports?

Currently I am trying to give a physical rs232 port to a Qemu VM.



Currently I use



-chardev serial,path=/dev/ttyUSB0,id=hostusbserial


command argument to do that. However, being an usb-based serial port, sometimes it should be able to handle hot add/removes without a guest restart, too.



Furthermore, any app on guest OS wants to know a serial port number to talk on. In the case of Windows guests, these would be com1-com4, while Linuxes would use /dev/ttyS0-3.



Qemu docs don't reveal too much about it.



Sharing the usb host with device_add usb-host,... works, but it is not a viable option. Thus:



  1. Sharing should happen on the rs232 level,

  2. it should be hotadd-capable,

  3. and somehow I should influence (or, at least see), which serial port will it be on the guest side.

Can I somehow do this with qmp? (Qmp is that qemu monitor, I handle it with telnetting to a tcp port on -monitor telnet:127.0.0.1:4444,server,nowait.

  • I am not sure if (1)-(3) are essentially different questions. If needed, I can split the question into this 3 parts.
