Ok, the fixes are now in the repository. It is now possible to output text from shell to COM2 using

echo "text" >SER1:

Note: COM1 (SER0:) is allocated to serial debug and trying to send characters to it through same method won't work (Unit 0 of serial.device won't open).

Thanks, Deadwood, great job as always

There was a number of bugs on this codepath, but eventually I managed to get

echo "a" >SER1:

to work (SER0: is blocked for serial debug on PC builds)

(PS. fixes are not yet in the repo)

Hello,

You want to output from the AROS shell to the host serial_output.txt file through the virtual serial port.

I use this Virtualbox feature to catch the early AROS debug log with debug=all,serial at the end of the multiboot2 grub line.

But, once AROS is up and running you can write live to the debug log with the KEcho command, in Developer:Debug/
For instance, in my case,
KEcho hello from Aros shell
returns in the serial_output.txt file:
0000003516f1c08d 0x000000007eb30170 | 000 | hello from Aros shell

I’ve set up the serial port in VirtualBox as shown in the screenshot.

Now I’d like to send a string from the AROS Shell that would be saved to serial_output.txt

I tried this:
echo "test" >SER:
but it didn’t work...

Does anyone know how to do this? Perhaps some additional configuration is required?
