Socat symlink - Can't open COM


up vote

I installed socat
and set up a virtual serial port over TCP:IP
to communicate to an RS232 device remotely
socat pty,link=/dev/virtualcom0,raw,b115200,user=master tcp:192.101.1.198:4000
I can send data properly by using echo "data" > /dev/virtualcom0
My problem is, I need to launch a software who try to open the COM port /dev/virtualcom0
but it return me Can't open port COM: /dev/virtualcom0 bad arguments
The program is using System.IO.Ports SerialPort
and return me the error when it launches the function Open()
, more details about this, can be found here.
So I think the program can't Open the COM because it's not a real Port COM but a symlink.
Any idea how I can do it?
Best Regards,
