QEMU PCI serial devices — QEMU documentation

# QEMU PCI serial devices

QEMU implements some PCI serial devices which are simple PCI wrappers around one or more 16550 UARTs.

There is one single-port variant and two multiport-variants. Linux guests work out-of-the box with all cards. There is a Windows inf file (`docs/qemupciserial.inf`) to set up the cards in Windows guests.

## Single-port card

Name:

  `pci-serial`

PCI ID:

  1b36:0002

PCI Region 0:

  IO bar, 8 bytes long, with the 16550 UART mapped to it.

Interrupt:

  Wired to pin A.

## Multiport cards

Name:

  `pci-serial-2x`, `pci-serial-4x`

PCI ID:

  1b36:0003 (`-2x`) and 1b36:0004 (`-4x`)

PCI Region 0:

  IO bar, with two or four 16550 UARTs mapped after each other. The first is at offset 0, the second at offset 8, and so on.

Interrupt:

  Wired to pin A.
