A hypervisor of a device may receive information that identifies a virtual machine that is to use a universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) of the device. The hypervisor may map a set of first register addresses, associated with a physical UART port, and a set of variable addresses. The hypervisor may map a second set of register addresses, associated with a virtual UART port of the virtual machine, and the set of variable addresses. The hypervisor may permit the virtual machine to communicate, with a remote device, using the physical UART port based on mapping the set of second register addresses and the set of variable addresses.
