Running NNDK-3.3.7-installer.exe, I got an error message box: “Error reading “setup.ini”. It looks like that is coming from the USB driver installer at C:nburnUSBDriverNburnUSBVCP_installer.exe. I connect the MODM7AE70 to USB, Device Manager shows Netburner Development Kit under Other devices. (and has Device status “The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)”). I found a download for VirtualCommPort-2.3-windows-x64-installer.exe and ran it, but NDK still shows not installed, There is no new COMM port shown in MTTTY, just the ones I had before. My PC is running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, 64 GB.

Description
VSPE is intended to help software engineers and developers to create/debug/test applications that use serial ports.
It is able to create various virtual devices to transmit/receive data.
Unlike regular serial ports, virtual devices have special capabilities: for example,
the same device can be opened more than once by different applications, that can be useful in many cases.
With VSPE you are able to share physical serial port data for several applications,
expose serial port to local network (via TCP protocol), create virtual serial port device pairs and so on.
Key features
- Virtual device: connector
- Virtual device: data splitter
- Virtual device: pair
- Mapper device
- User mode device: TcpServer
- User mode device: TcpClient
- User mode device: Serial Redirector
- User mode device: UDP Manager
- User mode device: Bridge
- x86, x86_64 (and arm64 kernel driver) processor architecture support

Technical information
System Requirements
- Officially supported by Microsoft Windows operating system: x86 (32 bit)/x86_64 (64 bit)
- Windows 11 ARM64 kernel driver support added starting from version 1.1.6.760
- Windows 10 (32/64), Windows 11 (64/ARM64) or Windows Server 2019/2022 (but can work on some other versions as well)
- Legacy operating systems require latest Windows updates/service packs to be installed: applicable to Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. In some cases (for Windows XP for example) you will have to use previous VSPE version — see «Legacy operating systems support» section below.
- Latest VSPE versions kernel driver digital signature is not compatible with officially deprecated by Microsoft x64 systems such as Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8 x64. You can either use older VSPE version (1.1.5.458) or (as temporary workaround) disable driver signature verification in your system. x32 platforms do not have such limitation and can still work with latest VSPE releases. We are aware of this problem and working on it by going through re-certification process for legacy systems, but it takes time.
Testing information
Because of the way VSPE emulation works, please ALWAYS test VSPE (without activating it) on your target operating system before purchasing it — to see if it suits your needs
We focus on testing VSPE on the latest officially supported by Microsoft operating systems, including the following:
- Windows 11 x64
- Windows 11 arm64
- Windows 10 x64
- Windows 10 x32
- Windows Server 2022 x64
- Windows Server 2019 x64
Legacy operating systems support
To avoid any problems with kernel driver signature verifications (manifesting as error 241 due to missing root certificate), please ensure that legacy Windows system has all the latest updates installed.
If you are using Windows operating system which is not officially supported by Microsoft (Windows XP, Vista etc), you can hit issues with loading VSPE kernel driver. In this case you can try to using older release which is compatible to those systems:
VSPE_0.937.4.747
Please note that Windows 7/8 x64 (officially deprecated by Microsoft) currently are not able to verify latest VSPE kernel driver signature. x32 platforms do not have this problem.
We are working to mitigate this but it takes time — as we need to go through different kernel driver re-verification procedure.
As a workaround, you can either disable this verification or use VSPE version which uses legacy-compatible drivers:
VSPE_1.1.5.458
Windows 7 x64
Please note that Windows 7 is officially not supported by Microsoft anymore and it is recommended to use up-to-date version of Windows.
VSPE requires Windows 7 x64 to have Service Pack 1 + all security updates to be installed.
- Windows 7 x64 Service Pack 1
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/15090/windows-7-install-service-pack-1-sp1 - Additional updates:
how-to-obtain-and-install-windows-7-sp2
If for some reason you prefer not to install Service Pack 1, you can download old VSPE version below which works on unpatched Windows 7 verison:
VSPE_0.937.4.747
Known issues and workarounds
-
Upgrading VSPE fails from 0.xxx to 1.xxx version.
When upgrading from 0.xxx version, VSPE sometimes cannot start kernel driver when executed for the first time, and VSPE will suggeste few ways to fix this if it happens.
The easiest way to avoid this issue is to uninstall old version first, reboot and install new version. -
Autostart as Windows Service command bug generated by «Helpers -> Set up as Windows Service» (VSPE version: <= 1.1.5.458)
Make sure that the service creation command ends like this (with extra double quotes):
\»» start= auto
and not this (as default):
\» start= auto

Features
- com0com: baud rate emulation
- com0com: pinouts customization
- com0com: noised line emulation
- com0com: paired port settings monitoring (baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity)
- com0com: hiding ‘unavailable’ ports from user
- hup4com: spliting data from one serial device into several virtual serial ports
- hup4com: redirecting serial to TCP/IP and TCP/IP to serial
- hup4com: RFC2217 — Telnet Com Port Control Option (client and server)

Serial connection between virtual machines without the need for hardware. One of the most effective programs I have
-
This is simple, solid and did EXACTLY what I needed. This is one of the little tools that I keep around forever to pull out when I need just that.
-
Sorry my poor English, this project is very useful for me to debug because I work with ancient devices that require COM port interface only.

Virtual Serial Port Driver
Create pairs of virtual COM ports linked by virtual null-modem cable
Virtual COM Port Driver is a powerful technology designed specifically for those who develop, test, or debug serial port software and hardware. This solution will provide your system with as many virtual COM interfaces as you need.
If there are not enough physical COM ports or even if you don’t have a single real serial port on your computer, this dedicated software will come to the rescue. It will help you create pairs of virtual serial interfaces communicating via a virtual null-modem connection.
You can use Virtual Serial Port Driver as a standalone solution or integrate its advanced functionality into your own product.
PRO version of Virtual COM Port Driver
With Virtual COM Port Driver PRO, you unlock a host of outstanding additional features that let you split and join serial port data streams, add multiple COM ports to port bundles, merge ports for establishing connections “many-to-many”, create serial port switcher that will find a free COM port automatically, and many more.
Some of the features you get with the STANDARD edition of Virtual Serial Port Driver
Virtual Serial Port Driver is aimed at creating virtual COM port pairs that can be used instead of real COM ports for serial communication. This is especially convenient when all of your real serial ports are already occupied.

FAQ about Virtual Serial Ports
What is a virtual COM port?
A virtual COM port is a piece of software that emulates a physical serial interface. It fully replicates the functionary of a hardware COM interface and will be recognized by operating systems and serial applications as if it were a real port.
What is a virtual serial port used for?
Virtual COM ports are primarily used to connect serial-based equipment such as that used in hospitals, laboratories, and industrial automation systems to computers not equipped with a serial interface.
