I do not have too much experience with windows, but on unix, this is
normal. This is the behavior of the pipe, not the app. When first
program opens one end of the pipe, it will be blocked by the OS. It
waits to open other end. You have to start a program which opens other
end of the pipe (in opposite direction of course), then the first app
will be unlocked and able to continue. uCsim will open serial files in
order they are specified in the command line. If they are pipes, you
have to open them in the same order by other programs.
I don't have a great experience with named pipes on Windows either.
Perhaps it's possible that named pipes on Windows don't work the same
way as on unix. It seems from my experimentation that named pipes work
more like a file, in that there can be multiple processes interfacing
with a single pipe, and that there does not necessarily need to be
anything consuming data that is sent. For example, my experience with
the hanging console in uCsim was the same regardless of whether or not I
had a PuTTY serial terminal session open on the pipe.
By the way, I recall just now that in the past I have experienced the
hanging console before when simply loading a Hex file and accompanying
CDB file - nothing to do with UARTs. If I recall correctly, explicitly
loading only the Hex file worked fine. I assumed then that it must have
been something to do with a bad CDB file, but now I am not so sure...
I have tried ConEmu, win10 powershell and win10 cmd.exe. All of them
looks to be OK in color mode and in bw (-b) mode as well.
win7 cdm.exe can not handle ansi, but with -b it works well too.
I am using Windows 7. Ansicon (https://github.com/adoxa/ansicon) does
similar to ConEmu, but adds ANSI support to the command prompt natively
(through DLL trickery). Works great for me, no complaints there. But
without any ANSI support, black & white mode definitely *does not* work
properly, at least on Win7. This is what I have always got when running
with -b arg:

No colours are output, but everything typed in the ucSim console spits
out raw escape codes. The example above is just typing "quit" and
pressing enter.
