Serial logs not being printed #9

Hi,

I'm trying to build MiniVisor with serial logging enabled but I can't get anything to print. I've followed your serial logging documentation and everything works and is exactly as displayed in your picture except nothing is being printed to PuTTY.

I'm using VMware Workstation 16 Pro.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Do you happen to configure serial connection with the port 2? Please check if the serial device for logging is in the first port (COM0) from the VMX file.

serial0.fileType = ...
serial0.fileName = ...
serial0.present = "TRUE"

Seems like this was the issue. By default VMware would configure the first serial port to connect to a printer. Replacing this with the serial port I added fixed this. Thanks!
