Virtual COM & serial sharing

Bring a remote serial port to your desk

Open a physical serial port on the host and present a usable local port to the remote engineer. Keep familiar terminal, flashing, diagnostic, and monitoring tools in the workflow.

What you can do

Built around the job, not the jargon

01

Virtual local port

Remote applications can connect through a familiar COM or TTY-style port instead of learning a new tool.

02

Flashing-ready controls

Common baud rates, hardware flow control, software flow control, and the DTR/RTS signals used by many boards are supported.

03

Industrial serial access

Use RS-232, RS-485, UART, Modbus serial equipment, console ports, and field devices from a remote location.

04

Exclusive use

NullPort prevents two sessions from taking control of the same physical serial port at once.

05

Cross-platform pairing

Connect Windows, Linux, macOS, Raspberry Pi, and other supported embedded endpoints.

06

Resilient sessions

Live sessions report real port-open results and handle recoverable read interruptions without hiding permanent failures.

A clear workflow

From invitation to completed work

  1. 1

    Select the port

    Choose the detected port and the settings your equipment expects.

  2. 2

    Invite a guest

    Share the one-use 12-character code with the person who needs access.

  3. 3

    Open it locally

    The guest chooses the local port name and continues in their usual application.

Common questions

Good to know

Can I flash an ESP32, STM32, or Arduino remotely?

Yes, when the board and flashing tool use a supported serial or USB workflow. NullPort carries the data and the control signals commonly required to enter programming mode.

Are custom baud rates supported?

NullPort supports common high-speed rates and negotiates compatible settings between endpoints. Hardware and operating-system limits still apply.

Can two people control one serial port?

A physical serial port is held exclusively for the active control session to avoid conflicting commands.
