Hi, I know this is not 100% related to arduino, but maybe someone had a similar problem.
I am trying to run my arduino on an Ubuntu 14.10 virtual machine hosted on Hyper-V(Windows 8.1).
The problem is I cannot manage to "link" the COM ports so the Arduino IDE can recognize my UNO.
I don't know if this is possible at all... reading about socat I found something interesting, but I don't get the point.
This is my Hyper-V config.
Does anyone know how I could map/link/whatever these "pipe" com ports with my hosted Ubuntu?
Thanks 
At this moment I still couldn't find a solution for this. I have to use the YUN board and connect through WIFI.
Obviously I cannot use serial ports with YUN neither.

You should be passing through the USB surely and let ubuntu do the driver usb to serial?

I don't know if I am missing something in my hyper-v configuration because when a USB is plugged it is not recognized in the hosted machine
