I look a look at the simulated UART few week ago and I didn't find a way to use it with an external USB/Serial adapter. Seams like the emulated UART is used mostly to fake a UART to NuttX applications, not to real communication with external UART like we have to I2C and SPI. I think we need some glue just to let NuttX running on simulator get access to the real UART device of the host. Xiang, did you (or someone of your team) already use the real host UART with the simulator? BR, Alan
