Abstract:
Systems and methods for implementing a user mode virtual serial communications port emulator are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a method for a virtual serial communications port emulator includes using at least one processor and memory for creating a virtual serial communication port (VCP) driver in a user mode of an operating system. The method further includes emulating a physical serial communication port using the VCP driver. In addition, the method includes converting outgoing data from an application executed on the at least one processor and memory via the VCP driver into a format complying with a protocol associated with a VCP device server. The method also includes converting incoming data from the VCP device server complying with the protocol into a second format understood by the application, wherein the VCP driver is communicated with using an unpublished universally unique identifier (UUID).
